I think it's always a good idea. It can't hurt.
I read this on their application, so I don't think they encourage submission of additional materials. But maybe an updated resume is considered "essential information," so you can try?

Applicants are expected to be diligent in providing all necessary information for review of their candidacy prior to the
completion of their applications. Once an application is complete, please do not submit additional materials unless they
convey essential information, as there is no guarantee such materials will be placed in your application prior to the evaluation
and may potentially slow down the review of your candidacy. Applicants may submit address changes and letters of
continued interest (Hold or Reserve applicants only) through our online upload portal (http://www.law.columbia.edu/admissions/jd/
apply/document-upload). Notification of events that are responsive to questions 8.1-8.6 must be emailed to
admissions@law.columbia.edu.

Any other KJD not get a request for fall grades? I saw that some did. I sent them anyway but I am not sure if it's a good or bad sign that I didn't get asked?

I’m k-JD but I began a new internship during the school year about 2 weeks after I applied (early November). I sent a new resume in December updating them. I got in this past week on a wave. Send the new resume would be my advice.

That's good to hear! When you sent in your updated resume, did they email you back saying they added it to your file? Just wondering if they are prompt in dealing with additional materials.

Last Friday was a Hamilton wave.

Ergo, everyone not yet admitted will get Hamiltons today. It's science folks.

Has anyone who interviewed in January received a decision? I interviewed on the 12th and haven't heard back yet.

Same...i interviewed on the 11th and nothing so i'm a little anxious, particularly because i asked my interviewer what's the timeline now for those who interviewed and he was like, 'oh, you'll hear within two weeks'...two weeks for me was yesterday. Wishing everyone the best!

Ditto. I feel very spurned and sad.
