Will This Fall's GPA Be Considered?

I'm an applicant for Loyola Law's Fall 2013 class. My GPA is currently at 3.27, but I'm trying my best to make that go up by the end of the fall semester.
If my application is turned in before fall grades are released, will my law school decision be made based on those grades already in? Or will they automatically wait until my fall grades to make a decision?
Thanks!

They won't wait. If they don't make a decision by the time you get grades, submit a transcript to LSAC and email the schools telling them a grade update is coming. You might be required to do this by mid-Jan, even if your GPA went down.

This. If itll go up substanitally I would consider waiting a year for the higher GPA.
