  I have a similar question.

  I have a score from the September test, but I feel like I did at least a couple of points better on the test last Saturday. I want law schools to see December's score when they review my application. If I submit my application before this score comes back, will my candidacy profile be automatically updated with my December score, or will I have to notify schools individually of my December score?

  If you don't think your September school can get you in the schools you're applying to, then wait for the December score to come out.

  Yes, most schools will review your app without the December score unless they have (like Georgetown) a section you can check to have them wait for your new LSAT score.

  Awesome. Thanks, Paul. I feel I would be competitive at most schools with my previous score, but I'm hoping/thinking December's score will give me a boost.

  I think I recall someone saying that you could submit and schools would either automatically wait for a December score, or you could request that specifically. If you're worried about an outright rejection or waitlist based on September score, then you might want to wait or contact admissions to ask about their policy.
