If you apply in round 3 and get rejected, and then apply a few months later for round one, it's a little tricky because you're kind of telling the admissions committee that they were wrong and they need to rethink their decision. It's better if you have a significantly higher GMAT or you've experienced some real career growth, a tangible significant development, but if you just did a crappy job on the application it's going to be a lot more difficult. Because from their eyes you haven't had a lot of time to *grow.*
I also want to mention that I haven't heard about Consultants rejecting around 3 applicants, however personally I don't work with applicants who don't have a GMAT score because if they don't get the GMAT score they are aspiring to get - then they will no longer have the proper motivation to complete the application.
I definitely work with round 3 reapplicants but only if they have a GMAT score that makes some degree of sense with the school they're applying to.

I honestly think that would be a bad strategy.
Round 3 is notoriously difficult -- I wouldn't advise any "normal" candidate to go that route. Only someone who is truly in extraordinary circumstances -- coming back from a military deployment, having just sold a business, having just had a child, etc -- would have a reason for going this route, and then even then that person better be over-the-top impressive.
For most of the top programs, my experience has been that is is more difficult for reapplicants -- especially if they didn't get an interview invite the first time around AND if they are just applying the following year. The adcom will simply not believe that THAT much could've possibly changed in your profile in that short amount of time, and if they dinged you before, I think it will work against yoou to not have a totally fresh slate. Wait until Round 1.

I just have completed my application.
However, I just noticed that one of my recommenders and I have used the same laptop under the same network.
Would it be a problem?
(To be exact, at work my recommender used a company laptop that used to be mine, since he has broken his and I had two for reasons)
