It depends on how many programs you want to apply to but you could comfortably hit 3 - 5 apps in R1 if you started moving by the end of May. An only-R2 strategy won't destroy your chances but, even marginally, R1 is still a better shot. And if you hit R1, you could have dual round intra year strategy and that's valuable too. Otherwise if R2 doesn't go your way you're left with R3 and that's not where you want to be.

Thoughts?
