Dude W's really don't matter. Much better than getting a shit grade. Alternatively you could see if you could switch if to P/F. Oh, you're a K-JD? Well thats a mistake in and of itself, you should probably go get a job for a year or two in between law school.

And I thought law students were the only ones who freaked out over false emergencies.

@everyone who says it doesn't matter, doesn't LSAC calculate W as F?

Only if your school treats a W as a F.
If a W is non-punitive at your school, it won't negatively impact your LSAC GPA.

At most schools, a W is non-punitive. If you go to a school where it is, that royally sucks.
