Financially, it makes no sense to spend $60 just to go from a 3.8 to a 3.9 when no one cares anyway...but I would know. Funny thing is that my wife wants me to go for the A. She seems to already have forgotten all the hell I've put her through the last 2+ years. I've been grumpy, withdrawn, angry and just overall stressed, and now I have to work to repair the damage I've done to our relationship. I think I'll just stick with a 3.9 and ditch the 4.0, especially since it's not a given that I would get the final A.

In the end, a master's is a master's unless you're going for a doctorate, but I completely understand not wanting a C. Probably what I would have done.

I think that in the long term you might feel it was worth it, but a B is still an excellent grade if you push forward for this option. Hope it all works out well, let us know your final decision.
