Depends on the consulate you use. Some will allow you to provide flight details without actually booking, others want to see actual tickets

Some people are rejected because their criminal record is not clean.

I don’t remember what I put on the application but I had not solidified my travel plans before my approval. Once I was approved for the visa it was still another 2 months before I arrived, and had no issues at border control.
