I've been on interview panels for a couple of previous employers, and the thing that gets ignored the most these days is your college record. The other people on the interview panels had gotten wise to all of these administrative shenanigans, and they prefer to hire somebody who can demonstrate real ability. These days the trend is toward hiring co-ops or others who had time to establish a career outside of college.
As universities become more "insert money and get degree" institutions, they are devaluing themselves.
