I am not going to contradict anyone's opinion here. People are free to do whatever they want to do including listening "some my friends had.... ". It's up to you whether or not you want to maintain your status. @ny2 already explained it in such a beautiful way.

In summary " Employer can't file GC once you go out of your status (f1 / h1). TPS will not help you adjust the status at all".

In summary " you can't have GC, h1 or any other status once you go out of your status (f1 / h1) using TPS. TPS will not help you adjust the status at all".

And Regarding CPT, anyone who is filing H1 or GC, come back here asking for options when USCIS sends you a letter stating that your "Change of status (COS)" has been denied. Earlier some folks might have able to exploit the CPT loop hole, but not any more. That CPT thing will come back and bite you.
