I got CAS about a week before taking the Sept. LSAT and I requested my undergrad school transcript through it. It still says my transcript is pending. I haven't started apps on LSAC yet...could this be why?
Did you tell your undergrad institutions to send them in? I think the CAS website needs to be reformed and made user friendly. When you put in an institution, they create a request sheet. You are supposed to print off this sheet and give it to your registrar at your undergrad institute. Then they mail off the transcript with that request sheet in it to the address listed on the request sheet. They should make the steps be in bold print in the beginning. I had my undergrad schools do it and it was processed within about a week to CAS.
I just want to add that your school may do things electronically though, so printing out (or faxing/emailing) the form isn't necessary. If your school doesn't do transcript submissions electronically though, you gotta figure out how you're going to get the form to your school which should be simple
Yeah CAS confused me at first. My university does it electronically and that was so much easier. Where you are in the application process doesn't matter.
Make sure you get transcripts from every institution you got credit through, including post-secondary and dual-enrollment classes in high school.

UGHHH Wow I feel dumb. I didn't even realize that. Thank you!
Charles nailed it.

Does study abroad (for one semester) count?
