Ok, ya it was dumb, but no one cheated but he wanted to "protect the integrity" of the process.
I freaked out bc it was going to kill my gpa to the point where it may bring me lower to what's allowed (so i would get kicked out of law school) so I called him and I told him that the bigger result would be that I get kicked out but he said that you'll be fine and he hinted in checking my academic standing before giving me my grade but if that changes to give him a call and we'd talk about it.
I wish I could do better in school. Law school is so confusing. You see these kids who totally freeload, don't read a page, cram the night before, and do well. You study your butt off, do everything right, and don't do nearly as well. Honestly, where would the motivation be to try doing well? Am I just dumb? I can't be dumb, so many people think I'm smart. I graduated in the IB program in high school, graduated college with a 3.5 (mom said it's not all that impressive, ok, it's not straight A's but sheesh, way to be hard?)
Some people are so smart masha'Allah. Maybe I underestimate myself. I probably do.

awwww
sometimes I think they stack the deck for crammers. 3.5 is an awesome GPA! I only got a 3.1, and that's after taking a bunch of Music classes and minoring in Spanish!
Inshallah, it will get better. Hang in there.
