There will always be cut-offs between grades. In most versions of the 4.0 scale, there are fractions used for + or - so someone with a 89 would get a 3.33 and a 80 would earn a 2.66.
But there is No Way to come up with a completely "fair" scale because your grades will depend on your course schedule and the teachers you get in those courses.
If you still remember your GPA in a few years, then you should examine how little you have accomplished in life. The goal of school is to learn....not to get good grades. There is so much grade inflation these days that grades are pretty much meaningless anyway.
Sure, you have to worry about your grades when you apply for the next level of school. But most admission people (at least at decent schools small enough to care about who you are) know how to compare your written words, your GPA, your transcript, and what they have learned about your school, in order to have a pretty good idea of your worth as an applicant.
I know from other threads that you have already graduated, so what prompted this thread?
