Need Advice - Apply now and request to review LSAT later or just apply later with higher LSAT?

So I scored a 155 in the October LSAT and then took a break from any material as my Mid Terms and Finals were picking up so I focused on that, especially since I was graduating in December and wanted to make sure I didn't tank my final GPA (3.6).

Recently I received 2x extra time which I did not previously have and have successfully requested accommodations for the February LSAT.

My question is, should I apply now and send an addendum letting them know to expect a higher score after the Feb LSAT, or just hold off until that score comes in and apply with it then? I'm shooting specifically for U Miami (median 163) and FIU (median 160). I was actually just recently deferred from U Miami after an ED application for further context.

    Following- in a similar predicament.

    I am really struggling to get my essays done tho. So I'm giving myself until Feb (super late I know, but I would be ok with reapplying if this cycle doesnt go well)

    I think if you have your materials together, might as well send schools what you have and ask them to hold your application if they allow that. If schools don't allow you to hold for future LSAT i would wait.

    You never know, admissions teams might still take a peak at your file, and submitting early is always good if you feel ready to submit
