I previously applied 2 cycles ago. Since I did not submit an application last cycle AADSAS does not retain any of my prior application. So I have a few questions for anyone that's been in a similar situation:

1. Are there any schools that retain previous applications and would be willing to turn any of the information over to me? Any suggestions in general for how I might be able to get my hands on my prior submission?

2. Do schools generally keep prior applications and compare them against current applications? I want to make sure everything is consistent from my first application but I'm not sure I'll be able to remember every single detail with the same precision, and I don't want to appear inconsistent.

3. Does being a re-applicant significantly affect one's chances for admission? What recommendations do you guys have for someone re-applying? My first application was not complete so I was rejected by default at every school I applied to, but my application will be complete this cycle.

Thank you for any help.

Good question!

What if we didn't include a few extracurricular activities previously and include those when reapplying? Will that be questioned?
