Anyone have any insight into how reapplying goes after you've been accepted and turned down offers in a previous year?

I'm starting to think about reapplying next year (I applied late and got turned down at one of my top choices today), but I'm scared the schools that give me good $$$ this year won't see me as positively as a reapplicant who turned down offers before =/

I think you'll be fine. I reapplied to schools I previously applied to and so far the responses have been positive. The only caveat in my situation is that my LSAT score increased.

In other news, I got into Michigan. First t14 acceptance. PM for stats.

If schools typically give the same offers, I'll be happy to reapply, but if reapplying means more waitlists and lower scholarships, I'm not sure what's best.
I don't have much insight about this but did see someone mention in another thread that they got rejected by Cornell this cycle after receiving a scholarship offer last cycle.

Also - yay, Yaaaas!

180 -- you have an awesome LSAT score, and I'm sure you'll be getting lots of good news by the end of the cycle!

I did not believe any other experience could exceed the anticipation and anxiety caused by the release of LSAT scores. . . Turns out there is: waiting for "dream" schools to make an offer of admission. :(


Congratulations to all of those who are receiving good news!!! Hope you get more!

Oshkosh, I'm right there with you--the last JS1 waves was a little sad for me. Spent the day hoping for love, no love for me

Nope =/ I feel like this is a missed chances post, except not (less?) creepy. lol. When I went to interview, another URM was interviewing at the same time, so just thought I'd ask to see if he was ITT.


@Yaaaas totally missed it ITT--congratulations!!

I'd wager that next week will be another wave. There's too many open slots according to Horse Thief.
