I have recently joined a new lab as part of my gap year in a field I am extremely interested in. During my time in the lab thus far, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on an exciting project. As a result of my productivity on the project, I have been named as a middle author on the manuscript which we hope to submit to high tier journal within the coming weeks.
I was wondering if sending an update letter on this new submission is worthwhile since the paper could get rejected and/or be sent back with extensive reviewer concerns? Should I only update programs that I am applying to once it’s accepted? Lastly, a more general question, what is the proper method of updating programs and when should you update them (only after an interview?)?
Thank you for any feedback.
