First, I don't think I would trade the last 4 years of my life for any amount of money.

Second, a lot of companies focus their recruiting efforts on top schools. Miami was a target university for my company. They were not going after devry.

GPA is not the end all be all. Mine wasn't that great. I will admit that it likely cost me a couple interviews, but once you get in the room, you have to sell yourself and your experiences. I got my job because I clicked with the guys who interviewed me and had experiences and a skill set that lined up with the job. GPA never even came up.
