nick, you are probably right. That's why I suggest one essay from C1-2 and one from C3-4. 
I also heard R1 is crucial for Stanford. And if other schools are any example, out of 4000 applicants a school gets, usually only 400-500 apply R1, versus probably 2000-3000 in R2.

You guys really think that R1 is so crucial for Stan? I am already on Sep 30th and I haven't even started the Stan application. I think that it makes more sense for me to continue spending the next 10 days on Wharton and move Stan to R2.
Another option is to finish W right now (I'm close to completion anyway) and see if I can finish Stan in 20 days. But I am worried that I may end up submitting half-cooked applications to both the schools in that case.
Is it really going to be a case of 400 in R1 vs 4000 in R2?

mNeo, I don't know how much of it is true, but every student, alum, and even one admissions officer said that R1 is "probably" better than R2.
Of course, in your situation, I wouldn't rush Stanford essays just to get it in R1, since the essays are CRUCIAL for them to decide whether to admit you or not. I think a better essay will still be better than the slight edge you may get in R1, especially since you're still working on Wharton.
I've been working on my Stanford essays for 8 days straight now, almost 4 hours a day, and it's still 100-200 words over the limit per essay and not as good as I want it to be. I forsee myself spending the next two full weeks on reviews with friends and students to make it perfect. Good thing my UCLA and Haas are almost ready.
