Readmission after leaving for and being dismissed from a different graduate program
Dropping is generally a red flag to admittance groups, but could be overcome with a good reason. Be prepared for the following questions: Why did you drop?  If the two programs are equivalent, why is the second one better?
There are presumably good answers: I moved home to look after a sick family member. I had a sudden loss of incoming financial support and rotated to a lower cost university to pursue my passion.  I worked with faculty member XYZ on a top-tier research project, and I came with them from the first university to the second under a full ride.  Sometimes the answers are still honest and fair but less flattering: &quot;I was worried about my mental health during the pandemic and rotated to be closer to family and my support network. I did better afterwards and thrived at the second university.&quot;
You presumably have good reasons - it will depend on your ability to communicate why, and you will need more details than provided above.
