Does withdrawing your application after you send in primaries make you have reapplicant status next round?

Yes.

this is what I did, and in interviews, when asked if i was a reapp, i said thats what i did- the schools were 50-50 on whether or not they considered me a re-app. i did withdraw before i was verified though.

are you guys sure? I submitted my AMCAS app last year and withdrew it before AMCAS verified it and sent it to any schools...does that still count as re-applicant status? it's not like I applied fully and was rejected anywhere...

call amcas.

But you were not verified. A person who has been verified but not sent in a secondary would be considered a reapp if at a later date they decide to reapply.

Eh... I was looking at one school's website, and they seemed to only consider you a reapplicant if you applied but were not accepted... if you withdrew before you completed the secondary, then your application was just never complete and thus was never looked at.

But you still applied at that school. As far as AAMC/AMCAS (and thus the "Have you previously applied...?" question) is concerned, "If you have a processed AMCAS application from a previous year, you are considered a re-applicant to those previous medical schools. This is regardless of whether or not a secondary application was completed."

If you filled out a primary and were verified ("processed"), you're a reapplicant at all schools you listed on that first application.

I agree--AMCAS is very clear on this point, as you point out.

I applied last year to a number of schools, but I opted to only submit a secondary for one school (my dream school, which I wasn't accepted to, but I got in this year 🙂). When I applied again this year I was considered a reapplicant to all of the schools that I my AMCAS application to last year, even though I did not submit a secondary to them.

Those are AMCAS's rules, which are what matters on the AMCAS application.

True, but there is a difference between being a reapplicant according to AMCAS, and a reapplicant according to the school. Many schools have secondaries with this question too 🙂

Each school can do what they want. The majority will consider you a re-applicant.
