Something I have noticed about good managers: They hire projects not people. They don't give a shit if you went to Harvard or not. They just want to know you can code. Build something awesome with their API over the course of two months and you will have a much better chance at getting the job than some random guy from a prestigious school. (Note: the prestigious school guy will build something cool too, so he still has a better chance than you. But, the point still stands. Build stuff, show it off, and you will be employed.)
