That's the conventional wisdom, but I think times are changing.

If you have a 2.7 GPA from an ivy league school (competition), or a 3.0 from a state school, or a 3.6 from JC then state, or a 3.8 because you learned better at your own pace online, would that still be true?
Part of my job is interviewing prospective employees. For some reason their GPA has not come up in any of those interviews. Where they went to school and what degree they earned does come up.
If I learn that someone earned a degree from an online school (correspondence course AFAIK) it will not carry anywhere near as much weight as a degree from full time 4 year university will.
