Hi all, at this point I've submitted all my JD applications for entry into the class of 2024, but I just got (very delayed) feedback on my resume from a former supervisor. The comments were valuable and, when applied, I think do make my resume a bit stronger. Would you recommend that I email law schools this updated/revised resume? Or is there a chance that could reflect poorly on me?

The advice my supervisor gave me was to take out an academic experience and replace it with a professional experience (an investment banking internship at a prestigious firm) that I had originally left out. He also suggested some language and tweaks that buffed up my leadership roles a bit. So it's not fixing mistakes or updating it with new, more recent info. Rather, the edits highlight different experiences from my past that I previously left out. I would love for schools to see this new version, but obviously do not want to appear like I did not properly review my materials the first time around.
