Do schools keep applications?

I was looking at OSU's admissions webpage and read "Applicants reapplying from the previous year do not to resubmit the 80-hour Veterinary Verification Form as applications are kept on file up to one year." This got me to wondering... do most schools keep your application on file? And for the schools that do, if you reapply to the same school, does the admissions committee look at any part of your previous years application (i.e. to look for changes/improvements, additional experiences, etc)?

When I got my app review with WSU they told me that they keep the old applications on file so i would definitely have to rewrite my personal statement. (I only asked her because she said she really liked my PS and who wants to mess up a good thing... am i right? lol)
