Just found the forum and excited that I did. Will be applying in R3. ALMOST done.
In response to some others who talked about R2 vs R3...
1. Rule of thumb is to always apply when you're ready, regardless of round.
2. Yes, if you plan on qualifying for scholarships, must submit in R1 or R2.
3. I was told when I was visiting the campus that R3 actually has less students applying because of the scholarship requirement and therefore may slightly be less competitive. (I can only hope although this is not why I applied in R3).
