I'm an male engineer living in Europe, originally from an Asian country, and I'm targeting the Top 15 programs this year.
I'm currently in the naturalization process, so I will get my European citizenship at February next year at the latest.
If I go for R1, I most probably have to use my orignal citizenship, which is an overrepresented pool.
if I go for R2/R3, I might be able to use my new citizenship, which is a much smaller pool.
I heard rumors like "citizenship plays a big role in the quota system", but I also heard words like "the earlier, the easier and the more scholarship".
Therefore I'm genuienly curious to hear what everyone thinks of my dilemma: With my application readiness (not an extraordinary one though) equal in all rounds, which round should I go for?

Well round three is not even an option there are not very many seats left over and if so they are reserved for people with crazy high test scores and extremely diverse profiles. So February is too late. If there's greater likelihood that this will happen in January or February then you may as well pull the trigger now and use the advantage of being earlier in the process. All the applications for top schools are in the first week of January. At least in the US - with programs outside the US like they might have more deadlines.

Short answer is, yes, citizenship does matter when applying to biz schools, esp if you belong to an over represented pool.
However, I am going to agree with Farrell on this one. You may have all the ingredient for gaining success even now and may not need to rely on citizenship matters to risk waiting and applying towards the end of the application cycle. Maybe you could add that as an addendum in the application so that the adcoms are still aware.
