Beyond being more competitive, submitting all your apps in Round 2 is also a bad idea because you don't get any feedback on how well you're doing before you have to submit every last stinking app. If the deadlines were staggered by a few months, you'd at least know whether you were heading in the right direction. Instead, they are Dec 11, Jan 3, Jan 7, Jan 9, and Jan 11.
I can imagine applying to seven schools in Round 2 and not getting into a single one of them. At that point the only remaining options would be Round 3 and next year -- neither of them particularly attractive.
But it's very hard to finish 7 apps using the same strategies and tactics when you don't actually know whether your strategies and tactics are effective.
I guess this is why people pay thousands for coaching services, something that I am far to proud to do.

Hi
Personally I agree to this. Here in India most of B-School applicant's are people who have just completed their bachelor's degree. As high as 95% people are from such background.
Most of the B-school have fresher's strength of 85% as well. Nothing wrong in that except the fact that they do it again from an International school in their thirty's. On the other hand people who have experience up their sleeves lack the quality, comptt and feedback they expect from their companions.
Congratulation for getting in Tuck.
