Hi, when you reapply, do you have to go through everything again? 

The only thing I didn't have to redo is the whole MEPS process, I believe completion of the process is valid for 2 years, although they did try to tell me that I had to go back to MEPS to get re-weighed, but we were able to complete that at a local recruiter office. All of the paperwork and documents needed filled out and signed again for army boards and the Baylor application. My recruiter just used the info from last year to complete my documents and had me sign them since nothing really changed. I had to redo my shadow/interview. Baylor kept records of my transcripts- so I didn't have to pay to have them sent again this year, but the rest of requirements on the application had to be resubmitted. I'm not sure if this is the same process others have been through, but this was my personal experience with reapplying this year.
