manipulate? d:to manage or influence skillfully, esp. in an unfair manner.
do you think I have that much influence over my professors? I am just asking for a better grade.

I mean manipulate in this sense:
A school grade is a rating of how someone performed on their school work.
Trying to have that grade changed on the basis of activity outside of how they performed on their school work is "manipulation."
(OTOH, where special circumstances exist that affected the conduct of the work, they should be taken into account)
