You have plenty of time to put an app together. The bigger question is if you can hit your target GMAT score by then. Take some
Practice tests and determine then.
I did HSW R1 and only started early/mid August—took diagnostic and then at home test a couple days later (so test part was out of the way very fast).
Had soft sounded with my boss a couple weeks prior, but that’s it. put together a ppt on my story and recommended things to highlight to my recommenders, reached out immediately after diagnostic.
In terms of story, went with the one that was both true and fit neatly with my trajectory. Going well so far, with two interviews!
Hard to say for sure...I’m on a super long nonprofit externship where i got promoted, and my story is using this experience to enter/found startups in the same industry (think education or healthcare where tech is hot rn), so my guess is that story made sense and i had a lot of personality in my short answer qs whenever possible. don’t want to get much more specific than this but feel free to DM!
I started this process for R2 from scratch early September. Im halfway through my GMAT prep class, have thoroughly researched schools, lined up recs, started crafting my story, and I still feel like im cutting it pretty close. Unless you could take time off work, it’d be tough to target R2 starting from scratch now.

No, unless you knock out GMAT with little studying, have your recs on board, story straight, and are an amazing writer.
Depends on how quickly you can pick up the gmat. I took the GRE but i started studying in june, took it in august and finished 5 applications by mid october and I found that to be pretty aggressive.

IBA1 starting from blank slate. Will require significant effort for studying and taking GMAT alone

Then absolutely not
I’d start with the GMAT first (at the very least a diagnostic) and then take it from there - the essays and all the other parts will take time, but having a GMAT score will “ground you” so you can figure out if this is feasible or not
