Are reapplicants at a disadvantage?
Reapplicants are not placed at disadvantage for having applied (or been denied) in a previous year. Your new application will be evaluated on its merits, in the context of the new applicant pool. We encourage you to give yourself a fresh start when you approach your reapplication. Think through and re-write your essays (questions may change each year), update work history, submit new letters of reference (even if you choose the same recommenders), and submit new transcripts. This is also a good opportunity for you to add any new information that may be helpful in the decision process. Admission decisions are also dependent on who else is applying in any given year and what the total pool and mix of applicants is.
