I made a huge mistake by submitting a primary application to MD only programs 3 years ago, but not submitting secondaries because I decided I needed a gap year. This past year I shifted to MD/PhD programs and interviewed at 3 programs. Even though I did not submit my secondaries and applied MD only, I know I was still marked in their systems as a reapplicant. Now that it's looking like I need to apply again, I am super worried that I screwed myself over by applying when I shouldn't have the first time around, and now these schools will see "3 time applicant" next to my name and immediately discount me.
