How long does it take for LSAC to process? Is it because they are busy right now? My school sent it on Dec. 8th.
Once my transcript rolls in, I have to purchase CAS. How long does it take for LSAC to calculate my GPA?
Will it be done by the time my Dec. LSAT score rolls in? I want to apply as soon as my score comes in...

Thank you so much!!

Why not buy CAS now? Pretty sure they suggest that you give LSAC at least 4 weeks to process the purchase itself.

^ I thought, it wouldn't matter until I have all my transcripts on file?
I don't mind buying it now I guess! Thank you. But I just thought it doesn't matter since I don't even have all of my transcripts processed yet. No?

I just purchased it while writing this! I guess all I can do it to wait...

Thanks!

I mean, there's no particular order in which to do it. Just everything has to be done before your reports can be sent, so may as well go ahead and get it done. Also, LSAC spells out how long it takes to process transcripts here: http://www.lsac.org/jd/applying-to-law-school/cas see: "Important"

From LSAC website:

You should register and pay for the Credential Assembly Service at least four to six weeks before your first law school application deadline. It takes approximately two weeks to process a transcript, letter of recommendation, or evaluation from the time it is received.

So if your school sent them on the 8th then you have another week or so to go. You should probably purchase the CAS to ensure they actually process it for you, imo.
