MBA programs typically have three application rounds: Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3. The deadlines for these rounds are usually in September, January, and April respectively.
Most MBA applicants have to make a decision about which application round to submit their application. The first question that would have crossed your mind: Which round offers the best chance of admission: Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3? The answer is: It depends.
Round 1 vs Round 2 MBA Application Round – Which Factors to Consider
So how do you decide which MBA application round to apply in, Round 1 or Round 2?
Here are a few factors to consider:
First, think about your goals and objectives. Do you want to start your MBA as soon as possible? Or do you need some time to prepare financially and professionally?
Second, take a look at your test scores. If you’re not confident that your GMAT or GRE score is high enough to get you into your target business school, it may be worth waiting to apply in a later round.
Finally, are you an international student? If yes, you might want to apply in Round 1 or Round 2, so that you have ample time for visa-related formalities.

"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."
