I took the December LSAT and underperformed (and new it) and also took the February LSAT and feel like I did much better. For some of the schools I'm applying to, my Dec. score is at or just below the median, but for many of the schools my expected Feb. score is above their medians. Should I wait until I receive my Feb. score before sending in an application? Will LSAC/CAS include my February score once it is reported if I apply today? I'm struggling because everybody tells me earlier is always better, but there is such a disparity between my low-160s Dec. score and expected high 160s Feb. score, I want to make sure the significantly better score is included in any application I complete. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately waiting a year isn't really an option for me. I'm mostly concerned about it logistically, if CAS will still send the February score even though an application has already been submitted.

They will automatically update the schools you've applied to once your score comes in. You should have a section on the application to note you have an upcoming score coming from the Feb test. You may also want to inform the school (s) you have a score coming, just to cover the bases, they'll likely our your file on hold but in my experience the school would recommend you go ahead and apply with that pending score on its way.
This is really helpful, thanks!
