Hey all! Would anyone mind running through some practice cases with me this weekend and next week? I have my final interviews for TD&E at EY next week and unfortunately, I don’t have anyone to help me prepare for the case interview :/ I haven’t done a case in 2 years so I’m a little nervous and want to prepare as much as possible

I applied R3 and got into both Kellogg and Booth (and of course went to Booth). It’s certainly possible.
I heard this year the applications are way down. It might be worth shooting your shot, especially as a domestic applicant.
If you get to a GMAT score that you are at peace with you should shoot your shot in R3.

Application volumes are down which means that schools will need to give R3 applicants and folks on the wait list a good look.
I've worked with plenty of folks who have been accepted to top schools in R3 and even accepted off waitlists into July!
You're right. And smart of you to wait. We always advise our clients at StoryCrafters MBA not to apply in R3 and wait until (ideally) R1. It's a numbers game. Think about it. Slots have already been filled in R1 and R2. Also getting off a waitlist is easier from R1 to R2. Much harder from R2 to R3. And nearly impossibly in R3. And yes, you need some crazy-unique profile and a miracle to get accepted to the very top M7 programs in R3. Aim for R1. It's the smarter move. Happy to share more of our experience here:
