This will vary from employer to employer, but what is it that you would be looking for when you see my projects? What would get me bonus points and what would make me lose points? What is important to you? Good documentation and commenting? Optimization? Apparent effort? What is a deal breaker?
You can say that after a few years of working the university you attended doesn't matter much, but there will also be a sort of “club” for those who went to a higher caliber university. I screwed up big time in high school and I feel that I'm being somewhat punished now because I don't have the option to attend MIT (I wanted to go through their EECS program).
Do you think I am at a disadvantage? I don't mean just because I won't have a degree that says Massachusetts Institute of Technology across the top, but because I'll have a lesser education. Not to disrespect to professors at my university, but the CS program is a bit of a joke.
