Send updated vita to grad schools?

[szymk1sm]

Hi all,

This may have already been discussed, but I did a quick search and didn't see an answer (plus I'm at work and about to go see patients so I don't have time to get in depth quite yet).

This morning, I found out that one of my manuscripts has been accepted for publication. On the CVs I sent with my graduate school apps, I indicated that I had a manuscript in review.

Would it be okay to email the graduate coordinators an updated version of my CV, indicating that my manuscript has now been accepted?

In my mind, it seems okay, but I would like to know opinions on proper etiquette with respect to this matter.

Thank you!!

I'd definitely do it! Congrats on the acceptance!

I received an "Outstanding Graduate of X University" and also picked up a Behavior Intervention Specialist position where I apply evidence-based ABA to DD clients. Are either of these worthy of bothering people to make note of these updates?

Thanks!

Unless perhaps you are the 1st author and/or in its a top journal, I would reflect before you do that. You might come across as a bit anal for doing that.

I don't think you are going to get burned either way, really, so it probably wouldn't hurt to tell them. But I would suggest, if it was already listed as "under review" on your CV, that you just let them know about it on interviews.

If you did not list it on your CV at all before and it was now accepted, then you might have a stronger case for updating people.

I'd probably just bring an updated vita to interviews, but that's just me.

Keep in my mind that for grad school apps, one accepted peer-reviewed pub can be a fairly "stand out" factor--most applicants don't have any, even at many research-heavy programs. Now if the poster already had 5 accepted/in-press publications or this was for internship or post-doc, the story would be different, IMO.

Sure, but any additional contact comes with some risk. In this case, seems like it wouldn't hurt to let them know as it is a big accomplishment.

However, if you are confident in getting interviews, it is a great talking point then as well.

Thank you all for your comments!

I ultimately decided to send the updated vita's out to the graduate coordinators. It is my first accepted peer-reviewed publication, so I'm hoping that will factor in to their decision to grant an interview.

None of my schools have been updated on the interview list/TGF yet, so I'm still crossing my fingers!

ah good, so if none of "your" schools have offered interviews yet, then it's a good idea! Good luck!
