If we graduated in May of this year (2025) should we give updates on what we have done since then? Or leave it blank?

I think leave blank, if they wanted it they wouldn't have specified 2024

LM 82.90 (MCAT 525, GPA 3.99) with no IS secondary. I have an II from a (supposedly) stats-heavy school, so I've been curious how my essays came across, haha... Still early in the cycle; I'm kind of hoping to use UCSF to gauge the quality of my primary, I guess.
I have a 518, no secondary yet RIP 😭
