I heard that they do not know, even They do not know you applied to their program last years.

I only remember if we happen to have

1. Interviewed the person
2. Offered to interview
3. Something in the application was really worth remembering
and
4, If we interviewed, ranked and that person didn't match - then we know that we weren't ranked.

And all are dependent on my brain at that point in time.

that's nice to know bbb.

So if that's the case, would it be advisable to apply to the said program (yours for example) the second time around? Knowing that I was interviewed at that certain program a year ago? Since you remember them (interviewed applicants), would it somehow increase our chances of being interviewed again.... perhaps you're curious what the applicant has been up to?

thanks

It's going to depend on how you interviewed (good or not so good) and where you were ranked. Is it worth it? Only you are going to know if you should.

thanks bbb, and i guess it's worth applying again. knowing I met their criteria a year ago, there must be something in my application that made them invite me, or something like that. So i guess it won't hurt a bit.
thanks again! smiling face
