Hello All,
Currently Assistant Manger, I have a slight chance of getting promoted to Manager by this year-end. I was targeting R1 deadline, but such a scenario tempts to push my submissions to R2.
I am a 26 year old Indian Male having 3 years work-ex of in a global financial institution (analytics / data consulting role) and a year of work-ex in a global Travel company (As software engineer). Extra-curricular side is decent enough. Targeting top 10 US schools.
My only motivation in applying in R1 is that, given I am in an over-represented group of applicants, I would stand the best chance of admit in R1. Is there any truth in the myth that applying in R1 offers the best chance of admit for an applicant in an over-represented group? I haven't even started with my applications, but I might manage to pull off till R1 deadline. Though at the risk of being a half-baked one.
If I wait till R2, will the promotion to a Manager role really add further value and fill in the gaps in my application ? Is it worth waiting ? Cant I pin down the leadership side of things in my current role- Assistant Manager ?
Finally, considering all facts, which Round will be a wise choice?
Really appreciate any help on this.

By the time you get to the MBA admission interviews, your promotion would be in place or you can confidently say that is happening. ADCOMs would be interested in what you do in the new manager role, for atleast 2 years, to reach the next level.
The fact that you are getting promoted shortly, is a testimony to what you have achieved over the years, and is enough to add heft to your application package. Apply for R1 Less crowd compared to R2. Ping me if you need any assistance.

"Is there any truth in the myth that applying in R1 offers the best chance of admit for an applicant in an over-represented group? "
Very little. Round 1 and 2 tend to be about balanced in terms of chances
R.e. your promotion, a promotion is always helpful, especially if it means: more leadership. Now do you have to WAIT to tell the AdCom you will get a promotion? I don't think so. Usually you wont have time to have done that much. And applying R1 is preferable for other reasons (mostly to do with timing) And anyhow if your promotion is guaranteed, you can write about it anyway!
Best,
JF
