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 know its better to apply earlier and its advisable to apply in R1. But, what if you cant, for multiple reasons. Where does this leave you? R3.
As an international student, is it advisable to apply in R3 or apply next year? ....blame it on the markets :@
Would you know the percentage intake in the Top10?
Thoughts/ Advice?

If you are not sure you will get into the school, R3 is *not* worth taking a shot at, IMO. Cram and do R2 or wait till next year. Not only is it extremely difficult to get in on R3, but if you don't, you have to answer the question next time of "what have you done to make your applications stronger". This is difficult for most people to have done anything significant between the R3 reply date and the following year's R1 date (less than 6 months time)
Unless your name is Larry Page or Warren Buffet IV
one note regarding cramming: if you already have your GMAT done, I think it is reasonable (although stressful) to be able to prepare a good application for one or two schools in 6-8 weeks.

From what I've gathered, R3 is very competitive. Usually 80%+ of the slots are already filled. The adcoms can afford to be very picky about who they give offers too.
You have another problem being an international student. Almost every school I've seen recommends that international student apply R1 or R2, as that gives them enough time to get their visas in order. Since the notification dates for R3 accepts is mid to late may, you might not have enough time to secure a visa before school starts.
