Reapplying

[Nikki]

I'm reapplying this year after 100% rejections last year. I've added at least 4 additional schools to the list and already emailed profs at the new schools. Now for the schools I'm reapplying to....

I emailed all the schools/profs to see what I could do to improve my application after the rejections, so now I'm not sure how to go about contacting them now.

Do I ignore that fact that I applied last year and send an email with my info, interests, etc? Or should I mention that I am reapplying and add in what I have done to improve my apps?

I would mention that you're reapplying and what you've accomplished since the last round. This shows initiative, and if you can show that you took specific advice from one of the profs you're emailing, that's bound to be looked on favorably. I think not mentioning it (if you're contacting the same professors) might seem a little strange. They might remember you from last year and wonder why you're approaching them as if you haven't communicated before.
