You should check with the school, but most schools have two separate deadlines. There's the deadline by which you need to submit the app (in this case, Feb 1). There's also the deadline for submitting the rest of your application. Why have two deadlines? Because it can take a little longer for some people to get their CAS Reports in due to slow LoR writers, missing transcripts, and/or pending LSAT scores.
But in general and based on my professional experience, most schools would still review your app if an LSAT arrived a few days after a deadline. Heck, it's not like yours is the only app that they would have to review until Feb 3rd, right? :-)
No, they will hold the rest of your app (without LSAT score) until you submit your LSAT score. You directly email them to hold your application and then again to unhold it once your score is out.
