Using Same Essays from Last Year for Application?

This year I’m applying to the Carnegie Mellon Summer Programs for Diversity; I applied last year and was rejected. Does anyone have any opinion on whether or not I can or should still use the same essays? I looked them over and they are actually pretty solid; I’m thinking I might’ve gotten rejected for other reasons such as my age (too young) or PSAT score (I reported my sophomore one). Still, I’m not sure. Thoughts?

It don’t think you should use the same essay that did not work.
