Why do law schools care about whether we have applied for them before? If we answer yes, are they seriously gonna dig out our old files to compare or what?

Why waste time making another decision if you have already decided once, especially if there's no new LSAT or other pertinent information on the board?

People are able to do all sorts of fun things with me, including using this thingamagig called a scanner to create electronic files of documents, eliminating the need to keep piles and piles of paper...radical!
The dean of admissions at UIUC is posting/answering questions on TLS. He was asked about previous applications and said he didn't look at the old one; however, that's obviously not necessarily representative. I assume that if an adcomm looked at a previous application they would want to make sure it wasn't simply a "resend" with no new info (ie: LSAT score) or new essays...

Anecdotal stories are fun.
