I am still kicking myself for not choosing to do Kellogg R1 and doing Stanford instead... I'm beginning to think that adcom I spoke with was right... 400-600 applications in R1, 3000+ in R2! 
Not sure of my chances at all... especially with 2 of my co-workers (with similar profiles) already in for R1...

Kry 400-600 is completely wrong...there is no way. There were 200+ people at DAK, so you are telling me they have a 50% admit rate in R1. I would say more people apply in round 2 but not by a factor of 5 or 6. They actually said we were the top 15% so I kind of took that as a rough estimate for acceptance rate. Not to say that R1 is not 20% and R2 wont be 12% to average 15% overall. I would say at most its a 2 to 1 ratio for R2 to R1.
I think admit rate is higher in R1 but so is the overall quality of competition. More people probably do apply in R2 but more people are probably accepted in R2. In general if you are admitted in R1 you would mostly likely be admitted in R2 and if you are dinged in R2 then you probably would have been dinged in R1. This probably holds true across the board for most schools, obviously a much larger jump in R2 from one year to the next in comparison to R1 might play a huge roll. So R2 could be significantly harder if they only had a 10% increase in R1 apps and were assuming thats what R2 would be like but got 35% in R2. Now remember with Kellogg they do have an earlier deadline for Part 1 so they probably have a better idea how apps are going to shape up compared to a lot of schools where people may just get a name and password for the app site (I had access to three or four schools I never applied to).

Otherwise I would have matriculated at Haas already.
