Hi everyone,
It’s finals week here at UCLA. This is my second to last quarter (I’m graduating over the summer), and have a 3.92 here. I’m having a rough time finishing my work for one of my finals–it’s a final research paper. I have a C+ in the class, but the professor told me that if I get an A on the final, I’ll get an A in the class. The paper is due in two days, but I don’t know if I can finish it. He offered to let me take an “I” and turn it in over the summer. I know I can pull an “A” if I do that. Is it worth it, or should I push as hard as I can to turn it in on time on Tuesday?
I’m applying to top law schools this fall, and am worried it’d hurt my chances. I haven’t taken the LSAT yet, but based off practices, I’m expecting a 170+. What do you guys think? Is it better to take an “A” with an “I”, or should I turn it in on Tuesday and 50/50 get either an “A” or an “A-”? It’s a quarter 5 unit course.
