Re-applicants: are our apps reviewed Side-by-Side with the old app?

Members don't see this ad.

Anyone know?
i.e. particularly these items:
- essays
- LOR
- resume
- scores (MCAT, GPA)

Do they print out our old apps and give them to our evaluators to be reviewed side-by-side with the new one?

I know they probably conveniently have the MCAT scores side by side, but anyone know about the rest of the items?

Thanks!

I figure there is a different readership here than the pre-allo forum, so re-posting here. You can either reply here or click here to reply on the pre-allo board: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=8340251

It may depend on the school, but I know that Ohio state and University of WI look at them side by side...

Thanks.
Any particular tips with regards to the top 20s?

I'm a re-applicant to several DO schools and I know they only keep your apps on file for two years (the year you apply and the next year), so it depends on how many years ago you applied.
