Hello!

1) Yes, your timing is fine for Round 2. In fact, if you don't like your score, you can study during the rest of October, November, and take it in late December again.

2) Yes, you should have sufficient time to prepare your essays if you take the GMAT by October 19--depending on how many schools you are applying to. If you can handle studying for your GMAT while writing at least first drafts of your essays, I would recommend it.

3) Yes you will. I don't recommend Round 3 if you are applying for scholarships.

4) I don't know the answer to that one. I would think so. Otherwise, the schools would go out of their way to make sure international students knew to apply in Round 1.

Good luck!
