Pass/Fail in light of COVID?

cjz7

My university, like many others during the pandemic, has instituted an expanded pass/fail option which gives students an "S" (satisfactory) for any grade between and A-C and "CR" (credit) for a C- to F. Anyway, I have a class that has yet to give me a grade, but is really tough and I am considering going with the pass/fail option just in case it turns out poorly and tanks my GPA. I had read last year that LSAC was reminding schools not to penalize for pass/fail due to COVID and I was wondering if anybody knows if this is still the case. Is it worth having the "S" on my transcript in return for maintaining my GPA, or would a B+ look better even if it drops my average?
