Does getting rejected affect my chances?

<p>Hi,
I'm Australian and I'm thinking about applying for a college (mainly Ivy Leagues), I was wondering if getting rejected will affect my chances if I were to apply the year after? </p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>While there may be some negative impact on your chances the next time around, getting rejected is a sign that you’re likely to be rejected again (for the same reasons you were rejected in the first place). If your application improves significantly, though, it’s definitely possible to be admitted after an earlier rejection.</p>
