Manuscript revision: worth an update?

[X0001234]

Members don't see this ad.

I submitted a first-author manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal approx. 2 months ago, and just recently received a communication from the journal requesting that we make some revisions. I'm well-aware that revisions are not the same as having a manuscript be accepted for publication, but I think it's a sign that the editors are interested in my manuscript. Would it be worth sending schools an update letter containing this information? I've also recently started a new clinical position as a CNA (I have approx. 150 hours accumulated so far), so I could include that as well?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: A school I recently interviewed at plans to release decisions towards the end of December, which is why I'm kind of antsy to send an update letter

I would get cracking on your revisions over telling adcoms about how your manuscript received comments for revision. When I review manuscripts, I have a couple of choices to suggest to the editors on revisions with different meanings... so for us academics, saying your paper was sent back for revisions could mean you have a TON of work to do vs. light clarifications. No on revisions.

For schools accepting updates, you could disclose your new CNA. I don't know if the 150 hours is enough to push your file over the top post-interview, but if they want post-II communication, go ahead.
