Big difference between 3.16 and 3.17?

Hey everyone,
I need your advice on something. I'm about to wrap up my last quarter of undergrad and I'm trying to decide if I should take a 2-unit course as P/NP or grade option. If I get an A in this class (which may be difficult because the TA is a bitch when it comes to grading), it would bump me up to a 3.17 LSAC GPA rather than a 3.16. But, if I took it as P/NP I would avoid the possibility of ruining my expected 4.0 GPA for the quarter. I know this sounds ridiculous to worry about a .01 difference, but with my GPA, I need as much help as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Only would matter if a school was targeting a 3.16 median and if they are you shouldn't be going there anyway.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be rude. BUT
Go camping or something, dude(ette).
Get out of the house. Do something. Ask your 3rd grade self if you would one day want to be the guy (or girl) who cared about .01 of a GPA in College.
Which reminds me. College: You're doing it wrong. Have a beer. Go outside. forget you ever asked this question. Please.
In fact, you could use the time wasted on this idea class to do the above.
Don't think I'm being a dick. I'm not. Find a tree. name it ".01". Forget.

It's hard for me to believe that this is actually a serious question. 3.16 vs. 3.17? Let's just for a moment consider that that .01 *would* end up being make or break at some school you are just dying to attend. You imply that you'd need an A to get that bump to get that magic 3.17, but also that an A might be difficult to get thanks to a "bitchy" TA. Let's say you don't get the A...where would that leave you? Is the risk worth the reward?
I'm with that other poster...go take a walk, get some fresh air, look at the stars, and forget this inner-struggle ever took place.

The only time .01 would ever matter (and I doubt it would, still) is if it was a 3.99 vs a 4.0. The 4.0 is just more aesthetically pleasing.
