Submitting application with pending LSAT score release?

My school allows you to submit your application while you have an impending score release, they simply put your application on hold in the meantime. Is there any benefit to this? As in - will I be further in the que when the un-hold my application?

Former admissions officer here. If you submit your application without your most recent score, it will be processed and considered Incomplete until that score is received. However, once the LSAT score is released, it will be considered Complete and eligible for review. Your file may then be reviewed before the completed application that is received at the same time because that new application still needs to be processed by the admissions office. So long as you feel that you are ready to submit a strong application now, you can send it in. Good luck!
