Using same LORs

Hey all - I applied in 06 with a ****ty MCAT and great ECs and LORs. It's round two and my new MCAT is 32S and I want to use the same LORs. Is it advisable to just re-send the exact same LORs? Or am I supposed to ask my letter writers to rewrite them/re-date them, etc.

In other words: Has anyone reused their same LORs and if so, did you do anything differently?

I don't know how you can, unless you use Interfolio. Or if you were going to tell schools to use last year's. If you're "just" reapplying to the same set of schools, then I would only add a letter detailing what you've been up to in the interim year. The old letters are OK.

what if my interim year was finishing undergrad? i finished my senior year and my honors thesis..and then I figured alongside my secondary, i'd say what im planning on doing.

In that case sure. I would update your PS and your essays to include your senior year, thesis, and that you're reapplying.
