Thank you so much! @Sigaba @OHSP I definitely learned a lot in the last six months and I'll be sure to communicate that to my letter writers.

Long story short, some life things came up during my graduate school decision process and I'll be re-applying to history programs this fall. I was lucky enough to get accepted to a few great ones back in February/March, some of which I'll be re-applying to. Since my research interests have not changed, should I pretty much leave my SoP the way it is (besides adding a paragraph explaining why I previously said no to their offer, of course)? Should I get new recs? Or should I just use the same/similar application materials? I'm considering supplying a new writing sample, but I also don't want to jinx it. I've been in touch with one of the programs and they were understanding + gave some solid general advice, but I wasn't sure if any of you had some suggestions for re-application to a program that previously accepted you. Thanks so much in advance. It's been a weird year.
