oh i totally agree with that. if you have good grades but have nothing else to show for yourself your more likely to be passed up for someone with good grades AND volunteer work. volunteer work shows that you can devote your time to helping others.
actually what helped me get my current job was my 2000+ hours of time spent volunteering at the local animal shelter. The interviewer said it showed devotion, strength, loyalty, and compassion.
so get those extracurricular activites going if you haven't already
