Question about Columbia

Hi! I reapplied to CBS Round 1 on Tuesday. I was curious if anyone has some anecdotal (or empirical) thoughts around reapplication chances compared to first-time applicants? For context, I was on the waitlist for this August's start class until mid-July, so I'm hopeful! Best of luck to everyone applying!
