Applied on plan and struck out am going to apply again once Fall semester grades are posted (so I guess some time in January). For judges that I applied through in email or paper and did not hear back from, but now want to apply again for the next term should I just send an updated transcript and refer back to my old app or should I just send a brand new application with everything in it as if this was my first time applying to them? I figure the latter is more convenient, but I also don't want to violate some sort of unspoken rule or anything if there is one.

Send a new application. If they hired for the term you've applied for unsuccessfully, they've probably pitched your application already.
