In my field (TCS), to get an A, we almost always require something new, more or less publishable. It would be very difficult to get an A with your strategy, but it would be relatively easy to pass.

@AinsleyH. At most of the American institutions and programs that I know anything about, a masters degree is a binary: either you earn one, or you do not. There is not a notion of getting an "A". Hence it would be good to know where the original asker is working.
