Nothing is impossible. If you can't make it to apply in R2, no harm (except $200) to give a try~ 

However, the chance of getting in a top b-school in R3 is pretty slim unless you have really unique background.

when you say top, you mean the magic seven or what?

is top 20 ok to apply in r3 if it has 4 rounds?

i just dont' want to waste energy and time, or become an reapplicant next year...

It depends on the application pool this year. Really hard to predict~

What's the deadline of R3? And What is the school in your mind? You may have to give more information to get a useful answer.

Official Answer

In which Round should I apply?
        How important is it to apply in Round One?

Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible, provided that you do not sacrifice the quality of your application to do so. If you find that you need more time to revise your essays or to retake the GMAT, for example, you should definitely take the extra time to do so. Do note, however, that we make most of our offers of admission from Rounds 1, 2, and 3. Only a small number of Round 4 applicants are offered admission each year.

Based on the information above, my understanding is R3 is comparable with R1/R2 in terms of admission. It is your call. I can't make decision for you. ^_^
