[quote=Anonymous]My experience is that they allow make ups in undergrad, but we had zero flexibility in law school. Grades are so important they assumed that everyone was gaming the system. In law school, a friend was hit by a car, with permanent paralysis, and was in a medically induced coma in the ICU for two weeks at the end of a semester and missed exams. She wanted to make up her exams at the end of the summer after she'd partly recovered. No dice. She had to retake the whole semester (with the full cost) and graduate late, putting her off cycle for law firm job, which is a huge deal in a bad economy. The same answer was true for a friend who threw out her back right before an exam and the friend who had a stomach bug and puked through the whole exam. Law schools have zero compassion.[/quote]
