No problem - happy to help. My bachelor's degree was in Latin, my master's was in Computer Science. I took a bit of a dive in terms of prestige, though. I went to Wake Forest University on a full academic scholarship for college, and went to UNC-Greensboro (an offshoot of the UNC you've probably heard of) for grad school. Like I said, it's a bit of a dive but I didn't exactly have the sort of application necessary to storm the gates at a first rate institution. I just wanted something that said "computer science" on it to stop the weird ?'s about my Latin degree. My references were a couple of managers from a software internship as well as one of my favorite professors from Wake for academic chops. I didn't take any computer science at Wake, so there weren't any relevant profs I could have pinged. I didn't get in right after my undergrad degree - I graduated college in '05 and didn't start grad school until '07. I had about 15 months experience as a software developer when I applied - one year as an intern and then roughly three months with another company. I'm not sure whether that helped sway the admissions committee, but it did paint a sign on my back with the other students as the guy who could always help if they had a programming or systems ?.
