I think you should ask, specially if you're considering applying for the same program next year. You might get some good advice and feedback. Nevertheless, I think that some schools -the ones that have an immense amount of applications, that is- do not review thoroughly: they just select the ones that spark their attention or the ones that, in general, are a direct match with their professors, research interests or philosophy. It is to those that, I think, they give their full consideration.
