Why R3? Much tougher chances of getting in than previous rounds. Most of class will have been selected by then.

Try r1 instead.

Based on what you mention there is not much to differentiate you, which is a problem.

Basic things you can do to strengthen app:
-Retake GMAT, aim for above average of schools you are considering - there is still plenty of time if doing r1
-do some extracurriculars, something

I appreciate the thoughts; I realize that I am facing an uphill battle given that it will be R3. I just turned 28 and would like to go this year vs. waiting. Hopefully with a strong app, i can earn a spot...
