If your first one got you five offers, why re-write it (other than perhaps to mention your gap year)? Are you changing degree subject?

i’m applying with my school and i think they want it rewritten. i also feel like i’m a different person that to what i was a year ago and have so much more i could write about but i just don’t know where or how to start

What has given you the impression that your school want it rewritten?
If you've got more to write about, then fair enough. I'd use your existing version as a starting point, and add in the additional items you want to talk about where they would logically go. This is bound to take you over the word limit, so then you'll need to go through the normal editting process of taking out the weakest parts, or rewording for brevity.
