I don't find a problem with GPA's lower than 3.0 out of a 4.0 scale: If a C is supposed to be average - which is slightly lower than a 3.0 - this should really be around what the average student earns. Those that get a 3.0 or 3.5 actually have to have put in extra effort to earn those and it makes it much easier to see who takes it seriously. Instead, person A can waft through making A's and B's while person 2 has to work their butts off, when a C should really be acceptable.
