@LawSchoolFinder: same thing happened to me. I applied on 01/31/24 with my Jan score but was already registered to take Feb. I got an email that my file was complete and in review a few days after applying but then I got a new email about a week later saying it was back to incomplete until my Feb score. Which I just got today (obvi) and it IS THE EXACT SAME SCORE lol. so they held on to my app for no reason haha
