i have a first author paper we submitted to a pretty good journal and we just got back the decision, the editor/reviewers suggested revisions and requested resubmission. Is this meaningful enough to warrant an update letter? I really want to send update/interest letters to the schools I’m on hold at/still waiting to hear from and if I wait until we resubmit and eventually hear back about a final decision it will be mid January at the earliest

Sorry, but no. Until you get a final decision on the revised, resubmitted manuscript, there's nothing newsworthy to report.

Nope.

Just over 150 medical schools will process over 800,000 applications this year. Please be patient.

This is NOT an acceptance, so no

What about the schools I'm on hold at? To show I'm still interested and also so that before their interview cycle closes they know that I have a 1st author paper moving along through the submission process?

You sent them an app; they know you're interested.

Any fool can submit their laundry list in crayon and call it a "submission" That's why submissions don't count for NIH Biosketches, or updates to med schools.

Patience is a virtue

Agree with @Goro. The problem isn’t that schools don’t think you’re interested. Send the update when the manuscript is accepted.
