Sandy, if it was one comment on your interview that got you the ding, will they hold that against you in a re-app? How do they view it if you turn around and apply again in R1 this fall?
they will if you are too old --or otherwise are stale by the general precepts in my post.
my pt, I guess, is there is no reapp advantage, they dont see a big red mark on your app and say,
"Oh, he was soooooooooo close last time...........we can just interview him again."
dont work that way. they start fr. scratch,and obviously scratch if you were late WL was not all that bad, but
you are older, pool is younger and cuter, and etc.
and also sometimes they are sick of you, one thing that happens in WL, is they really squeeze out the app, in ways that are more intense than actual breezey admits, and sometimes they figure out blah, blah, you are sorta bogus, when looked at w. laser beam.
dont mean to bum you folks out, who have been bummed out enuf today, but my real pt is, there is NO REAPP advantage, and in most cases, being older is a negative (but not all).
also, quoting dumb jive fr. the Economist, come on man, who cares about that stupid magazine thinking, man up and take the hit, and figure out what you are going to do next year. Sorry, but dinged folks need reality clarity, and not get well cards.
there is nothing wrong w. you or with b school, just dig in, and hit em again harder.
