Just a curious thought, if you was applying for a CS course, do you think it could have actually had a positive impact on chances?

Well, to be honest I figured it wouldn't hurt my chances. I've learned more from google and boredom with a heavy dose of frustration than I've ever learned in school.

All of my associates in the field do not have to deal with this issue and maintain the perspective that actual experience is more important than education. I've an incredible obstacle to surmount and it matters to me that I have documented training. It's just one-less-thing standing in the way.

I think it may have helped with the NSA scholarship, but I didn't apply to colleges for CS, so it wouldn't have helped there.
