<p>If a student who was accepted to or wait-listed at a college for the previous academic year chooses to re-apply to the same college for next year, is his/her application file from last year retained and used?</p>
<p>Note: Assuming that the student could't enroll last year due to sudden financial difficulties.</p>
<p>When my son transferred after the first semester, the second college just pulled his original application with scores, transcript, etc. I believe he did have to send the final HS transcript showing that he graduated, though. So it was pretty easy.</p>
<p>In that case it might be possible to defer admission for a year -that will eliminate the need to reapply.</p>
<p>It varies by school. My D had to submit a whole new app to transfer (for sophomore transfer).</p>
