If an applicant was denied admission to the graduate program for Fall 2008, can he / she apply again for the following Fall 2009?
Yes. If you applied for admission for Fall 2008 and were denied admission, you should find out what the reasons for denial were and improve those areas of your academic record, sending evidence of improvement when you apply again. For instance, if you plan to apply again for Fall 2009, and you were denied admission Fall 2008 due to low GRE scores, you should retake the GRE exam and submit better GRE scores when you apply for Fall 2009. If your grades were not competitive for Fall 2008 you should take further course work and achieve better grades, so you can submit a newer transcript with evidence of better grades when you apply for Fall 2009. To apply again, you would need to submit a new online admission application and all materials over again, using the same application process as any new applicant.
