However, lets say a year or two down the road I DO have the minimums and have to check "Yes" I have applied before. How is that question used? Is it a strike against you because you have already gotten rejected once?
Thanks.
You haven't been rejected if they never called you. Answer yes if you have. There's nothing to worry about. What are you going to do, say no? You don't know how long they keep apps on file.
