Has anyone ever received another interview invite from a school that you already interviewed at in the first application cycle?

We re-interviewed someone quite a while back.
Since then, it's only been for political reasons.
It's different in other states, though.

Yes. Many SDNers report being accepted the 2nd time around when they fixed deficits from the first cycle. For example, applying on time, after a late app the first time.

Yes, I applied late the first time I interview at LECOM - interview was in March. The second time I re-applied on the first day of opening and had my interview in November - accepted by Christmas.

There are people in my class that interviewed 2-3 times at our school before they were accepted.

@Goro Do you think it's more likely for a reapplicant to get an interview at a school they've interviewed at before? I was wait listed at three schools last cycle after a late application and then reapplied on the first day this cycle, so should I be thinking I stand a very good chance of getting interviews at those three schools this time around? Or is it the same slim odds as every other school?

That's how I did it.

I received an interview invitation from a school where I was wait-listed last year. Does anyone have advice for approaching the interview day? I have made significant improvements to my application and plan to share those along with expressing my continued love for this school. This particular school has a group interview as well, and I'm not sure how to approach that - is it appropriate to mention that I visited the school previously while with other candidates?

I wouldn't go out of my way to draw attention to the fact that you're a reapplicant, either alone or with a group. As for preparing, use the SDN feedback. That helped me tremendously when I applied.

OP, it's definitely possible. I re-interviewed at three schools that had previously interviewed me (granted with nearly a decade between application attempts).

Thank you for your advice!
