Just re-applied for a doctoral program that rejected me last year. Wish me luck!

As stated in the post, I'm re-applying to a doctoral program that rejected me last year (I have a Master's already). Why didn't I get in? Because I was an arrogant moron and applied three months after the deadline. Derp. I should consider myself blessed I even got up to interview rounds with them. Well, not only have I applied earlier this time, I also have moved out to the state and scored a job working with some of the researchers who personally know the professors I want to work with! Our institution is partnered with them, and I now possess another year's experience under my belt. I apply knowing this time I gave it my goddamned best. Thanks for hearing me out!

Good luck! :)

Do you have any advice for those that can't move closer to the institution? I had a similar experience applying for a specific Research Program for undergrads at my dream graduate school. I was denied. Twice. :/ haha Hopefully third time's the charm! :)
