I suggest you have an official copy sent to LSAC, and consider e-mailing an unofficial copy to the institutions you are most interested in -- along with perhaps a brief note about your good academic performance this semester, etc.

Schools will NOT accept a transcript sent straight to them. Mail LSAC (there is a form on their site, make sure you check updated before you give it to your schools registrar) and if you want, email each admissions office that you have done so. I did this and got mixed results. Some schools were positive (Mich and UVA off the top of my head), some just stated that they would wait for the updated transcript from LSAC.
HTH.
