Hi,
Coming from outside the U.S., I was late to start with my applications for the U.S. schools in time. In fact I was not considering the American schools until before January. I am accepted by several European schools for the autumn intake this year, but I am debating if I should give myself a full shot with the American schools before deciding which school in the world is the best option.
By now, even I am fully aware that for the class of 2012 the games are pretty much over with the American schools. Nevertheless, I have not totally given up: I'm considering to apply for U.S. schools that have their final rounds in April.
My question is, does anyone have an experience to share with a similar dilemma I am having now? If someone could share their experience of applying in the final round, I would appreciate.
Also would appreciate if anyone could share their insight about reapplying
Just in case!
Thanks.

Congrats on your acceptances to some schools already! Must be a relief.
I'm not by any means an expert on international applicant processes, but from what I've heard, applying in the later rounds to US schools can be complicated by the fact that you might not have enough time to process the appropriate visas/paperwork by the time you find out about school. But again, I'm not an expert. I recommend talking to someone else who has been through the whole process as an int'l applicant.
That being said, you're correct in worrying about 3rd round applications--they are usually considered the most competitive since so much of the class has already been admitted.

In addition to what LB20 said, regarding visa issues. The biggest challenge is there are only so many seats left, and the schools would be looking to fill in certain blanks in the student profiles. Unfortunately for you, even though you might be a top notch candidate, if you don't fit in certain requirements (profile-wise) you odds are very low.
To give you a different perspective, I applied to only a handful of schools in R2, only one interview, and no admits yet. In a previous life, I might have been tempted to put in a few apps in R3. But I would rather wait another six months and do it for 2013-R1. But that's just me.
