I have looked but didn't see any other topics on this. Could anyone who has experience, or one of the experts, comment on the the differences between the two? Will your application be viewed much more favorably in R2 than R3? I was visiting schools last week and then thanksgiving threw a wrench in my application process so I am sort of scrambling. Have (what I think are) good 1st drafts of all of the essays but fear putting them in Thursday and them not being as good as they could be.

Thanks,
John

Since Cornell has 4 rounds, round 3 in't the no-no it is at other schools. Round 2 is better if your app is ready but don't submit a rushed app if it's not.

Yep. The earlier the better. But R3 in Cornell gives you chances, so feel free to apply. It's always the LAST round that is a killer (some schools even have 5,6 rounds)

Hi John
With every progressing round it becomes more and more competitive. However assuming you application is equally strong in all the rounds you should worry that much. To avoid stress it is generally advised to apply early. If you feel you need time on your application and are not satisfied you should ensure make your application string and apply in round 3.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I decided by the end of Monday that my application just wasn't where it needed to be. Going to apply R3. Hope it doesn't hurt too much because I do really like the school but wanted to make sure I put forth my best self.

A wise choice, I think.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
