An annoying question
The question is essentially this: should I take one W on my transcript and end up with a final LSAC gpa .03 higher (either 4.0 or 3.97) or finish out the class and end up with my LSAC .03 lower (down to possibly a 3.94).
So basically is a W bad enough that I should not bother dropping and take the GPA hit? Thanks guys and sorry for this somewhat asinine question, but it could result in me not being above some 75ths so I figured it was worth asking.

Take the higher GPA. Nobody cares about W's unless they're excessive.heywatchitbuddy wrote:The question is essentially this: should I take one W on my transcript and end up with a final LSAC gpa .03 higher (either 4.0 or 3.97) or finish out the class and end up with my LSAC .03 lower (down to possibly a 3.94).

Yeah this will be my first one, and I don't have any Ps or anything either, so this realistically won't have any effect at all?John_rizzy_rawls wrote:Take the higher GPA.

Nope. Seriously no one cares about Ws unless they surpass around 5, maybe more.heywatchitbuddy wrote:Yeah this will be my first one, and I don't have any Ps or anything either, so this realistically won't have any effect at all?John_rizzy_rawls wrote:Take the higher GPA.

Even if you were at 5 I would probably still suggest the higher GPA.
