3.86 GPA... P/F 1 class before applying?

Post by birdkin » Wed Nov 02, 2016 12:11 pm

Hi.

I'm considering whether to P/F a class before applying in January after the December LSAT. I'm probably going to receive between A-/B+ in this class, with possibility of an A. The grading seems very subjective and I don't want to risk lowering my GPA (which would happen with anything below an A-), even though I'd still get a good grade in the class. Should I P/F? I know LSAC doesn't factor it into the GPA but I'm wondering if it really does have no effect on law school admissions at all. This would be my only pass fail in college.

Thanks!

Just take it P/F. I was in a very similar boat as you GPA wise and P/F'd 3 in the two semesters leading up to applying to schools. They didn't care at all.
