Hi,
I am reapplying this cycle once again. I just have a question about reference letters. Is it ok to ask the same people who wrote your reference letter to rewrite it again for this cycle?
For example, I shadowed a PT last summer and she wrote it for me. Is it ok if she rewrites my reference letter?

You absolutely can, but if you feel there's someone who can write stronger don't hesitate to ask them. If other areas of your application have improved using the same references shouldn't matter too much as your application probably didn't make it to that stage of review anyway.

I applied a second cycle before receiving acceptance, and I asked all of my references from my first application to submit on my behalf again, and they all did. I think that as long as you trust that they support you and are providing supportive letters of reference, then you should be good to go!

Yea I contacted a previous PT, I used to shadow and she agreed to it. I submitted my updated resume and cover letter, is there anything else I should include?

Some people include things that they would like highlighted in the LOR, but that's totally your call. I didn't include it, because I feel like the writers know me well enough.
