For what it's worth, I do a lot of hiring of programmers. A candidate's schooling MIGHT make a tiny difference in whether I notice their resume, but most anything that stands out will get you past that filter. Once you get to the interview stage, schooling makes essentially NO difference to me (although the things you LEARNED in school will make a difference).

- mcherm 15y agoAs far as I can tell, dropouts either never apply or they apply but don't list the education at all. Or more likely they apply and list it, lying and claiming to have completed the education -- I realize (although it disappoints me) that not 100% of everything put on resumes is the truth.
