You should reapply if you think you’ve demonstrated that you’ve addressed the issues that caused you to be denied previously. Have you actually talked to a GS admissions rep about why you were denied originally? A single W, or even 2, won’t kill you, unless they feel it indicates you won’t be able to handle the intense workload at GS. In that case they’d want to see you do well in a challenging semester. If you haven’t demonstrated that yet, I wouldn’t expect the outcome to be substantially different.
