bored Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 just some things I wanted to verify are there any penalties for re-applicants? Do they ever ask in the application if one is a reapplicant or not? I guess ill find out the answer to this when application opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If_At_First Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Definitely no penalties. If anything it shows that you're dedicated. I'd say almost half of my class applied at least twice. So maybe it doesn't help but it definitely doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Do they actually keep a record of who applied before? I thought they throw away the applications from previous years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If_At_First Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I don't know if they keep the application, but there are definitely records of the applicants each year. I don't know if they reference them or anything, but it definitely doesn't hurt your application for the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm not sure if you've seen this by now...but there is a section on the Supplementary Application that asks if you've applied before. I agree with If_At_First. I'd almost say most people that apply for their 1st time get rejected, because how is the med school to know that the person really wants to do medicine and not just go into something where their high marks would be useful? As for the previous applications..I know that they keep certain things on file. For example, I had to send in new undergrad transcripts with my re-application..but they had my I.B. Transcript still on file and they would use that for this cycle as well. Double check with the program advisor to make sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
