What’s the difference between applying for round 1 and applying for around 2?

Most ad coms will say round 1 and round 2 have no difference other than you find out decision sooner. Some schools (UVA) give more scholarship to earlier rounds. The general advice is apply when your application is best (e.g. gmat score, project experience, post promotion)

helpful

Round 1 is easier when you count the amount of deferrals that get in R2/R3. All things equal R1 is better but that is outweighed by having a worse app.

If you’re going to have a better application round 2 (gmat, EOY promotion, additional projects, etc) then do round 2 otherwise jump in ahead of the pack and hopefully find out earlier. Round 1 tends to get more scholarships but isn’t hard and fast.

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
