what's considered re-app

[lc18]

If I had previously submitted my primary application (AMCAS) but no secondaries...will I still be considered a re-applicant to that school?

i think yes because the school had to start a file on you once you sent them your AMCAS.

yes

Yes. Once you submit the primary application to a school, you have applied to that school.

Supposed I'm applying to 30 schools, 15 of which I had submitted the AMCAS application for in an earlier cycle. Do I indicate that I am a re-applicant on the AMCAS even though 15 of those schools haven't seen my application before?

Yes. You are a re-applicant. Period. There are no loopholes. You applied, you didn't get in. You are applying again. You are a RE-applicant. Get over it. It is not a bad thing. There are many adcoms that look at re-applicants positively as they show persistence.

Unless this year's app looks dramatically different from the previous one, they ask you if you have previously applied to each particular school. So you will be a re-applicant to some and a new applicant to others. Yes? No?

Exactly. new applicant to some schools and a re-applicant to others. What do you check on AMCAS? Reapplicant: yes or no?

It's exactly what you just said. "new applicant to some schools and a re-applicant to others. " It's not a general question, they ask you for each school. So for the ones where you've previously applied, you would check re-applicant.
