Do Schools Put Your Application On Hold Because of January LSAT?

[rcvry300996]

I have written both the August 2022 and October 2022 LSATs and ended up getting 160 on both... I am aiming for a little bit higher so that my score could be more competitive, so I am taking the LSAT again in January. I put my LSAC number on my applications, so the law schools know what I got for August and October, and they know I am doing January also... I was wondering though if law schools will or will not look at my application before they receive my January LSAT score. Also, if schools do look at my application before the January LSAT, and those law schools are okay with my 160, if they will accept me regardless of my January LSAT score?? All the schools I have applied to only take the highest LSAT score, not the average of them all or anything, so I am really not sure how they will evaluate my January LSAT..

Don’t schools usually wait until March or April to start rejecting people? I’m pretty sure you’ll either be competitive and get accepted, or your application will sit for the next little while, regardless of whether you write the LSAT. 

This should be taken with the caveat that I haven’t really paid attention to admissions for years, have no idea, and I’m only answering because you begged for an answer.
