I made LR at my old school, but my GPA/rank also went down. Some threads have suggested sending LOCIs and including an updated resume to reflect journal, moot court, and whatever other invitations/honors. Should I still do this? Sending an updated resume reflecting LR invitation (actually LR + two secondaries) would mean I'd also have to update my lower GPA/rank.

Aren't they going to want your full transcript before they make a decisions? In that case you'd probably be hurting yourself for not letting them know you're on LR. Is it just a grade one or does your school do a hybrid or write on only system.

Yeah, they have the final transcript, but not my new (lower) rank which was only released recently. Flagship LR is hybrid: top 5% grade on, bottom 5% eliminated, the in betweens are calculated based on write on and grades. I was an in-between. Secondary journals, one was grade on and the other was bluebook on.

youll get more out of revealing LR than by trying to hide your rank. if someone else applies from your school with their rank, it wont be hard to figure out yours.

Even though my rank went from inside top 10% to outside top 15%? I mean, I know it won't be hard to figure it out, but putting it right on there pretty much guarantees they see that I'm now only top 16% in the class, and that's pretty damning, no?
