The most important thing to apply for graduate students in the United States is to show your interest in this field and prove that you have sufficient development potential and research ability in this field through experience. As long as the conditions of the following year are really better than those of other applicants in the same department, it doesn't matter whether students apply for the same department again or not.
Improve your own conditions and increase the admission rate of graduate students.
The GPA score in the university stage is also an important factor for the school to consider admission or not, so don't relax the study in the university stage. Language achievement is also an important factor. For example, Harvard, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other famous schools have a TOEFL score of more than 630, while Stanford's journalism major has even reached a TOEFL score of 650 for international students.
At the same time, students need to check whether their qualifications meet the needs of professors and strengthen their academic research and comprehensive ability.
