Application-Priority Issues

If you sent in your primaries but not your secondaries and decided to halt there and apply the following year...

1.) Are you a repplicant although you didn't submit any secondaries?
2.) Is there any issue of PRIORITY for reapplicants vs. traditional seniors, I was a little worried about this issue..

Thanks.

Some schools specifically say that if you begin the process you will be considered a reapplicant even if you don't finish the process.

I'm not sure if this applies to all schools though.

yes you are considered a re applicant if you have submitted a primary in a previous cycle.

i don't know about #2, but i doubt re applicants get looked at negatively

1) Agree with above 👍, you're a reapplicant if AMCAS has your data from a previous submission.

2) It depends what you mean exactly by 'priority'. In and of itself, the short answer is probably not (though any school can do things however they choose, and it's largely inscrutable from the outside). But if they had a reason why they didn't take you last year, and the fault is still present in your application a year later, my guess is they're not going to waste a lot of time going over the same information.
