I did not like the 're-gearing up' part about reapplying either. It's hard to put yourself out there and be vulnerable to rejection like that.KatdyerA1A said:I am currently on 2 waitlists, so unless I hear something soon, I am going to plan on reapplying. Does anyone have any advice? I have a decent GPA and MCAT and I went to Hopkins Undergrad. I applied late due to August MCAT so I want my application to get in ASAP. Did people who reapplied apply to the same schools? Any advice with LORs or anything would be helpful as I am not looking forward to this process at all. I plan on taking graduate level science courses this year and continue to volunteer at an ophthalmology practice.
RxnMan said:I forwarded my LORs to next year, and supplemented them with updates (e.g. my LOR from my boss from '05 app used for my '06 app + a new letter from my boss describing another year's work experience).
Yup. Some of the schools I reapplied to had my old application, with those LORs, still on file. I just asked them to take the LORs out of the application from a year ago and put them into the new folder for this year. Not all places do this.Who M.D. said:By "forwarded" LORs, do you mean you got schools to dig up the LORs from last year's file and put it into this year's file? If so, are you able to do that everywhere?
