CAS Purchase

Hi,

Just a general question, I am not sure if I will be applying this cycle, depends on what my score will be after my Dec LSAT.
Issue is, I don't want to spend the money on purchasing CAS early on just in case I don't apply this year.
Can I buy CAS once I get my Dec. score (or at least after my Dec. test) and then apply right away?
Or, will it take some days for CAS to process and stuff...

Thank you!

it will take awhile for transcripts and LORs.

Your CAS is valid for five years, not only for this cycle.

^Thanks.

I was actually asking whether it would be unwise for me to not purchase my CAS until I receive my Dec. lsat score. The reason being, I don't want to spend the money for this cycle when I may not apply, depending on my score. But that means I may risk turning in my application late if I do decide to apply. Does this make sense? Sorry :(

May as well go ahead and be prepared just in case. You don't want to apply and be having some issue. You'll have to spend it anyways so just think of it as a sunk cost.

Okay. I have all my LORs submitted.

I just need to order one more transcript.

Do I have to have all my materials ready for CAS to process them all?

Thanks everyone!
