If you have the bandwidth, get your app in for R2. I applied last year and was waitlisted in R3. You have to realize Haas has a relatively smaller class size 220-250 students. My guess is more than half the class is filled up in R1 and R2. You have more than a week, work on the app and get it in for R2.
Just to give you an example from my personal experience - I applied to Haas last year in R3 and was wait-listed. This year, I reapplied to Haas and some other programs that I did not previously apply to (All in R1). Of the 5 schools I applied to (Wharton, Chicago, Columbia, Kellogg and Haas), I interviewed at the first three and arguably the hardest of the 5. My profile didn't change much since last year, but R1 (and in Haas' case R1 and R2) definitely "ups" your chances and gives you a shot on a blank canvas.
If you were my close friend, I would say go R2. Rest is your decision.

I did not redo all my essays. I don't recall the questions, but stuff like what are you most passionate about. If that changes from year to year - that's a huge red flag. I did present my goals, Why MBA and Why Haas a little more in detail and showed, how in the past year, I have learned more about the program, visited the campus, networked with people/professors..the usual spiel. Normally, your goals won't change - You wont go from wanting to work in Social Enterprise to wanting to work in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (just an example).
The admissions person who provided me feedback last year was very clear that they DO NOT require you to resubmit each and every essay. But do take the time to copy+paste an old essay and don't just say "See previous year's submission" (that would read - Lazy Applicant).
Good luck!
