Hey RichChigga, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
You're welcome.
Hey RichChigga. If your GPA is good then yes definitely include as it every little helps. I would also add your extra curriculars simply because it will demonstrate that you are a well rounded individual who's not all about academics + it demonstrates that you have learned other skills + gives the interviewer a chance to ask you further questions which could lead to an interesting conversation + your interviewer might have done a similar activity as you which could create a good personal link as well as increase the chances of him remembering you. My 2 cents.
