Should I call schools and tell them to wait?

Sorry for the cross-post
I applied to quite a few schools back in early November with a GPA: 3.2, LSAT:160. I retake the LSAT yesterday and I think I might have increased my score to 162-165 depending on the curve. Worst case scenario would be the same score. I am under review at most schools and I don't know if any would reject me outright. Should I call all of them and tell them to wait for my new score? I am a black male.
Thank you
Edit: the schools I applied to are on my profile

if youre under review. then they will make a decision shortly. It will come most likely before you get your scores back. A lot of schools wont review your applicaiton if you have a future lsat test date. It depends on each individual school however.

Maybe some schools did not realize I register for the LSAT again. FSU and UM accepted while I had already registered. I am currently under review at all schools on my profile except UChicago and GWU

you can let them know that you took the test again. send them an e-mail with your name and lsac number on it, or call.
I think it would be better to have it in writing. that way you have a copy for your records as well.

on most apps it requires you to indicate dates of all LSAT tests taken and/or registered for. this includes future registrations. didn't you put the December date on your applications?

I sent all my applications save for UChigaco before I register for the December LSAT.

Thank you. I will email them early tomorrow. This will make me wait a lil longer for decisions with added risk. If i do worse, I would have been better off laying low
