At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Depends which schools you are talking about. (These are business schools - not colleges).
Round 3 in top 20 in the US is always a bad round to apply for, no matter who you are and where you are from. The reason is that acceptance rates are very low since schools have filled up with the people they wanted to admit. Some even prevent international applicants from applying in R3.
If it is a top 50 or 100, then it is a different story as their deadlines are much more shifted out. However, another weakness of R3 is the lack of scholarship funds remaining; they are usually reserved for only truly outstanding applicants.
However, there is not really many downsides to trying besides putting in a lot of effort.

There are many reasons why people do not like to apply in round 3 - few spots left, little scholarship money etc (as BB pointed out above).
There are even more reasons why international candidates are discouraged from applying in round 3 - often, after the result of round 3, there isn't enough time left to get the visa process completed on time. The schools don't want the last minute rush and hence they avoid entertaining international applicants.
That said, you should get in touch with the schools you are considering - if they are fine with considering your application in round 3, then there are some merits to applying in round 3 this year compared with applying in round 1 next year. This post discusses those merits:
