<p>I think JHS is mostly right, but I do think the odds are good that a re-applicant would be read by different readers the second time around – there are a lot of readers, and applications are distributed randomly, so at least a few of the readers are likely to be different.</p>
<p>I do think it’s difficult to get in as a re-applicant unless you’ve done something in the intervening year, but in an application strength sort of way more than a reader biases sort of way.</p>
