One more sign that the grading system is broken: Florida cheerleader graduates with a GPA of 8.08. And she states that she could have done better. (But then again, she "plans to continue cheerleading at MIT next year," so this is an unusual student.)
One way to fix it that I think schools should consider is Valen Johnson's "Achievement Index".
UPDATE: first link is now fixed. Thanks, John Henry.
