Top Law Schools

So because I put all my effort into applying to law school and studying for the December LSAT my GPA dropped from a 3.6 to 3.55. So I was wondering if I have to submit my transcript before schools render a decision?

You'll eventually have to show the transcript to schools, but as far as I know, you don't need to update them during the application process. A .05 drop won't matter that much anyway.
