Prep School Question

<p>Hello there ! I am new to this website. My D has applied to some of the prep schools and there was 1 question in the application forms of all schools that we are curious to know as to why the schools asked that question. All the schools wanted to know if she had previously applied to those schools and the year she had applied in. She is on WL in 3 schools and would like to apply next year. Just wondering whether that will hamper her chances of getting into those schools next year or not</p>
