  Hey Mike, If you live in Canada I could advise you with the application process, but if you're in the US, I'm sure some of the guys here will assist you.

  It really depends on which schools you are aiming for. At least some of the T14 does not accept the February LSAT for Fall admission, but I do believe it differs based on the school. This is something you could find on each school's website.
  
  As the schools fall in rank, I think the general trend is that they are more open to later applications, with some schools now even starting to accept the June test for admission into that Fall. This in these schools' best interest to make the app process as open and accommodating as possible so that more students will apply, whereas the upper-echelon schools already have a large number of applicants to select from.
  
  Just check with your schools and you should be good to go!

  @c.janson35 thank you, that was very helpful. I will approach research more individually than I had been.
  
  @Matt1234567 thank you, but I'm in the US. I appreciate the offer, nonetheless.

  If you have a score on file, you can submit your app. Then they will just hold your app pending the February score. This at least gets your foot in the door if you have a December score that wouldn't get you rejected outright.

  Hey Matt, I am considering the February exam as well and I have done a little personal research on the topic.
  There are a list of schools I found that are now accepting February LSATs due to lowered amounts of applications.
  These schools are:
  American University
  Arizona State University
  Boston University
  Brooklyn Law School
  College of William and Mary
  George Washington
  New England School of Law
  North Carolina Central University
  Ohio State University
  Pace University
  Rutgers University, Newark
  Santa Clara University
  St. Mary’s University
  Stetson University
  Suffolk University
  Temple University
  SUNY Buffalo
  University of Connecticut
  University of Hawaii
  University of Kansas
  University of Maryland
  University of Montana
  University of Pittsburgh
  University of Wisconsin, Madison
  University of Wyoming
  University of the District of Columbia
  University of the Pacific
  Vanderbilt University
  Villanova University
  Wayne State University
  Western New England College
  Whittier College
  Yale University
  
  
  Then the article goes onto say that many schools would prefer scores be taken prior to the Feb LSAT for Fall submission, but will accept them on a rolling basis.

  That's a helpful list! Just note that it's not inclusive, so be sure to still check with your schools' websites if they aren't included there (and, to be honest, even if they are; you wouldn't want to risk anything lol).
