When would be the most strategic time to update

Hi, so I am planning on submitting a paper this week, will be 2nd author to a journal with IF- 35. I was also gonna upload on biorxiv, so it will be available to read but not peer reviewed. I am on hold for a few schools that I want to update with grad plans and the paper, however, would it be wise to wait until it gets accepted or can I send them the biorxiv link with what I have been working on and then update again when it actually gets accepted?

Thanks!

It would be wise to wait until the manuscript has been accepted and wiser to wait until you can fully cite it (ideally with PMID#). Some end up submitting to multiple journals before they get a taker.

Also important to note that depending on your research, reviewers, and journal expectations even if you get accepted it might be after several months of back and forth and multiple rounds of review. Wait until it's accepted and published

Yeah I guess my fear would be that it would be accepted, but be a few months before it is published and by that time it might be too late.

Thanks for the input @Catalystik

The good news is that nobody is actually going to check.

Is it basically just a system based on mutual trust? Like, no one actually checks anything unless it is particularly impressive or particularly fishy?

I mean ~150 medical schools are going to process ~800,000 AMCAS applications this year. The odds that an update will be read by someone who has both the time and interest to verify the citation are rather low.

What about post-matriculation? Also, I dig that. Only so many staff with more important things to do.
