2 years out of college, Currently beginning a “manager” role doing CDD at a boutique strategy firm, and will be officially promoted in November. for various reasons, really thinking my best exit option will be MBA, and I am wondering if waiting til 3rd round to apply will improve my chances (given more experience as a manager). Is that a fair assumption? 770 GMAT, engineering at T20 university

Third round is a big risk

likefunny

If you aren't committed to leaving this year and just want to take a shot to nothing, 3rd round is fine. If there's a reason you can't finish an app sooner, do 3rd. But in any other case, don't bother; the odds are long as can be

Any reason you wouldn't go for round 1 next year instead?

Apply RD 2 as a manager. No question. Do a quick google search about round 3 odds. That should answer your question for you.
