Schools that ask if you are a re applicant

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone know a list of schools that ask if you are a reapplicant?
All the schools to which you previously applied will see it in the primary application (under "additional applicant information").
They may or may not give you the opportunity to explain in the secondary.
 
100% of them on AMCAS
But what about schools that I didn't apply to previously.. I'm wondering if there is a common document or location that lists schools that ask on secondary apps.
 
Thank you
I dont know of a common document but I also am unsure of your concern. If a schools asks, then they ask. 25% of the applicant pool are reapplicants so it isnt uncommon

Because I was accepted to CNU and am considering reapplying, but I do not want to be blacklisted and have no chance of attending medical school.
 
Thank you

Lmao asking if you are a reapplicant versus have you previously been accepted to a medical school are two totally different scenarios. Being accepted then turning it down and applying again is a lot worse then being a reapplicant.

I sincerely hope you didn’t turn down your acceptance already. CNU might not be ideal but, it’s your best shot at becoming a doctor. This is why you don’t apply to schools you don’t want to go to.
Why would any med school take a student who looks so wishy-washy on paper?
 
Multiple adcoms have encouraged OP to turn it down. JS

I realize now that I shouldn’t have but a lot of what I have learned about the school has been over the past year. I am a non trad applicant and unfortunately I haven’t had much guidance, I didn’t know how poorly it was looked upon to turn down acceptances and also didn’t know as much about cnu as I do now.

But I realize the risk now of reapplying and turning down an acceptance so it may be better to just take it and do my best with it and not risk never getting in again.

This is so tough. Without federal loans, I wouldn’t be paying for school. If i naively applied to/got an acceptance to CNU before realizing this I’d be in the same state of conflict you are.

What’s the tuition/COA of CNU?

Because it's CNU.
 
Including the costs associated with the lack of federal payback mechanisms (that they denied to their students to line their own pockets)?
You mean private loans? Yeah that sucks big time. But, i meant more in the overall cost of attendance

The cost of attendance has to include the opportunities lost by requiring private loans and even more important, the loss of federal payback mechanisms.
 
I agree with reapplying. I dont know how the "blacklist" works but a lot of schools have "any additional info?" questions on secondaries where you could explain the financial burden that the school would have put on you.
 
Turn down CNU and reapply. Do not worry about schools that will ask. Simply tell them you could not financially do it without the government loans
Ok, I'm just worried then they will think "didn't you think this before?" or "you don't want it bad enough that you would take any financial burden?"
Though, they did speak at the interview of the "possibility of federal loans" yet, here we are.

Moderators and adcoms, I want to make sure I understand this clearly..
Only schools that I applied to can see that I had this acceptance(and can possibly blacklist me) ? Unless others ask in their secondary?
And then schools that I didn't apply to last year who I apply to next time will not know I am a re applicant?

And DO schools are completely in the dark as to where/when you applied (to) for other DO schools, and MD schools.
