<p>Have you wondered what happens to your Apps (Grades,essays,recs,scores,interview notes) once you're accepted/rejected?</p>
<p>Im pretty sure the keep them for one or two years. I remember one school i reapplied to said they had all my old stuff.</p>
<p>DS applied to Choate 2010-11 and was denied; he interviewed again the following year, and the AO had his entire file from the year before right in front of him. He asked him some specific questions about what had changed from the year before. DS ultimately chose not to apply to Choate the second time around - other schools were higher on his list - but the Choate AO had definitely done his homework.</p>
<p>If you are accepted the file is sent to the dean of student’s office and becomes a part of your permanent file.</p>
<p>Woah. Never thought of this. Cool question.</p>
<p>Therefore if someone hasn’t told the truth in the application, it can come back to haunt him or her later-- not sure what the policy is in every school but at Harvard if that is ever found to be the case (including after one graduates) that person is expunged from the rolls as if he or she had never been there.</p>
