MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

I am choosing to apply to all of my schools in R2. But mostly likely I will probably just make the deadline. Do the admissions committee wait til the end of the deadline to look at all the applications? Or read them as they come in? Does that mean that the people who apply in the beginning of R2 have an advantage over the people who send their application on the deadline?

I think it varies school to school whether they read them or not when they arrive. R2 its probably not as big of a deal since they are just finishing up R1 at a lot of schools so they probably were wrapped up with that until recently or still are.
As for it affecting the difficulty, I dont think so. For a given round I would bet half the people admitted are easy consensus picks, where the committee all agrees right away. The rest are people that they discuss and debate the merits, so if you are an easy admit you still will get in no problem, and the others when you submit will have no bearing on the final outcoming.
Personally I submitted all my apps the day they were due. I think I had one of the earliest admits to Kellogg this year, I found out the last week of November. So personally I think this sort of shows that submitting early isnt going to get you a decision any quicker.

I can only speak for the schools that I applied to (H/S/MIT) but for all 3 they explicitly state that no applications are looked at until after the deadline day and, at that point, they are randomized. As a general rule, I don't think the time of submission has any impact even if they do look at them as they come in.
