Like the title implies, I'm unsure about whether or not it's worth reapplying this upcoming cycle. When I say worth it, I mean in terms of the chances of getting more interviews and acceptances. Rather than vomiting all of my credentials to the point where I may as well have posted in "What are my chances", I'm posting here to get some input in a more general sense.
I applied last cycle, and was wait listed at a couple state schools. I'm now less than a month out from the very first day of the next cycle opening up. Generally, I continued doing well in school, graduated, continued working and volunteering (to some extent), So, I wasn't paralyzed by the failure, but I don't know if the year's time since last cycle is anything special to a committee. Also, generally, I don't believe anything in particular is crippling me on my application. I may just be lacking enough. What should be going through my head? What should I be thinking about with respect to reapplying? What are some questions I should be asking myself? What questions would you ask me? Can any of you offer me any way to explore the situation better to lead to being more confident one way or another?
Hopefully this gives an idea of what I'm getting at with this post. I simply just need to explore the idea of reapplying immediately this June. I've been told by my advisor and some people close to me that I should, but I'm still not a believer. Nevertheless, I do have my letters being submitted and AMCAS being developed once more. Thank you!
