No disadvantages. International students can apply in any of the first two rounds.
If I am wrong correct me :), If my post helped let me know by clicking the Thanks button ;).

Hi,

R1 is generally better.

Most of the b-schools are inclined to choose a higher % of students in round 1. This is because the candidates applying in R1 are required to give some kind of commitment (often a certain significant amount of money to be deposited) to the b-school. Hence, most of the candidates applying in R1 are considered more serious about the particular b-school.

Cheers

Yeah I wish I can apply in R1 but my test score won't be ready by then. I heard you can submit in R1 without test score, but I also heard that your file isn't reviewed until it's complete with test scores, recommendations..etc. So it's pointless to apply in R1 unless your app is complete.

Yes Chitra. Its there in most B schools.

An example:
"The ISB should receive your acceptance decision within 15 days from the date of the admission offer along with the admission fee."
