Round 1 is optimal. Round 2, there isn't much of a cushion if you're not admitted to anything. I applied Round 2 for everything, but wouldn't recommend it.

There's also an MBA Applicants Fishbowl you should check out.

Round 1 if you can. I applied R2 while 3 others at my (small boutique consulting) shop applied R1, they all got in but I didn't. Had better gmat score and same if not stronger work experience. Be really clear about what you want out of your MBA and how you will be employable afterwards.

Additional Posts in Consulting

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
