so my question to everyone out there is...
1. when should I reapply for a visa? what will be the best time to reapply?
As soon as you can. Pay the visa fee again and book the visa date.

2. people say that after a denial they ask about what changed in your current application since your initial application..? how do i justify that because all the things will remain the same.
If you retake the GRE, IELTS or TOEFL test you can mention them. Or if you change the university to a better one you can mention that. you can mentiones any certification you earned, any training you attended.

4. how to put through these facts?
You have to frame according to situation. Prepare a lengthy passage for questions like Why USA?, Why this University etc. Talk fluently to answer well for these Qs. This might change the fate of interview eventhough you don't have any changes from first time.
