The Rest of the Resume.

Whether is be our own doing, scholarship influence, or parental pressure, it seems that everything we are suppose to take away from college has been summed up into three letters; GPA. I disagree with this belief. An average GPA does not mean a person is average. An extraordinary GPA does not mean a person is extraordinary.

So, I've realized that students (and parents) have become far too obsessed with this single line of a resume. This is only one line of a page. This is only one accomplishment made in 4+ years.

I was curious about the rest of the resume. What extraordinary things do students do to stand out in their field, major, or to just feel proud of themselves. I found out we have some extraordinary students at OSU and I don't care one bit about their GPA. This is the rest of their resume.
