Columbia GS question

I applied to GS last year(traditional community college student but not really because I graduated high school early) under the fact I would be a part time student due to owning a business but got rejected. This year I am applying to Columbia college. Should I check the box saying I applied to Columbia before or not? And will Columbia college’s admissions department be able to see last years application? (the writing was really weak and I had weak extracurriculars)
