"graduate with perfect GPA" badge...who's got it?

I want to know who has the badge and who has tried for it.
I have tried a million times, my sim was on the dean's list when she took finals, passed with flying colors and didn't miss a minute of class...and has two degrees. But still no perfect GPA.
So my question is...what am I doing wrong? Those of you that have the perfect GPA badge...what exactly do you think earned it?

Some tips:
1. Until you get used to the college routine, don't take too heavy a class load.
2. Wait till you've built up some skills, then take the aptitude test -- that gives you up to 18 credits which reduces the amount you need to graduate.
3. Pick a major that's related to your Sim's traits and skills -- you can work on skill-building activities and they add to your Sim's academic performance. For example, reading about gardening or watching the fishing channel on the TV (if you have at least one skill point in each) will raise your academic level if you're in Science and Medicine, or playing chess or making potions on the Chemistry Station will help with Technology, or jogging or swimming will help with Physical Education.
4. If you get opportunities for extra credit, take them; my Science/Medicine Sim got a couple of opportunities to work on the Science Project and those really helped out at the end of the term.
5. Make sure your Sim eats regularly and gets enough sleep; you might have to bypass some of the more social activities on campus or put them off till the weekend. Since there's only one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, those are good days to work on skills, or do some of the Social Group jobs available on the job board so you can get up to level 8 and get an extra trait.
6. Before you take your final exams, make sure your Fun level is as high as possible -- when I had a Sim who was a Fine Arts major, I gave him a guitar for his inventory and made sure he had a couple of skill points, then I sent him to the building with his final exam a couple of hours early and just had him play guitar till time to go inside, and it really helped a lot; the guitar raised both his academic performance and his fun level.
7. When in doubt, try the "Beg Professor for a Good Grade" tone; if you've been doing decent the rest of the term it might help, and not as taxing on the Fun level as Try Hard tone.

Same here. I've been assuming it's one of the ones that's on the glitch list but I haven't bothered to check and see.
