So I am currently finishing up a SMP program and was wondering if I should update the schools I am waitlisted at with my grades after I graduate. Does it make any difference? I know it's generally useless and some schools explicitly say not to update with transcripts, but I was thinking it's different since I am in a SMP and the schools I'm waitlisted at have their own SMP programs. Maybe they want to see how I finished and are holding off even though I know it won't be a deal maker to accept me.

Normally, I would have just done it as per the advice of my program advisors, but recently my grades have slight a downward trend, 3.65 --> probably graduate with 3.56-3.59. Now that I think about it, the difference is small, but for some reason I keep thinking 3.6 is like an unspoken minimum threshold needed in an SMP.
 
It doesn't hurt to try, you may never know if it will work in your favor or not if you don't try. Do you have an adviser associated with your SMP program that you can discuss this question with?
