YES!!
The purpose of applying before you receive your score is to spur the administrative process on our end. Each application we receive requires a fair amount of processing. These procedures can take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks, based primarily on the volume of new applications. So by submitting a "pre-score" application, you are, in effect, giving yourself a head-start. You are allowing us to do the requisite "prep work" beforehand, so that when your score is released to us by LSAC, your file will be immediately eligible for review. Waiting to receive your score before applying can greatly delay review of your application by greatly delaying processing of your application materials.
I'm sure there are exceptions to this rule--though I can't think of any right now. But if you are in a seemingly unique situation where applying before receving your LSAT score doesn't seem to be the best course of action, send me an email explaining your concerns, and I'll give you my take. It'll probably be a refrain of what you just read here.
