First off, thank you for your response. I attended a good university. When I started it was in the top 20 engineering schools. I have learned/use OO practices and design both in and out of school. I too dropped out one semester shy, but now I'm returning to school for my last semester. However, instead of withdrawing from classes, I just left so my GPA was ruined even more than before. I have learned unit testing and used it in school projects, but unfortunately not outside of school.

As a soon to be graduate in Computer Engineering I have found this topic to be quite interesting. I was hoping to get some feedback on how I can sell myself in future interviews. My biggest fear is that potential employers will focus too much on grades. My grades are, in one word, terrible. I have been working on my own developing ASP.NET pages as well as some small windows apps. What are some qualities I can highlight that might counteract my grades? I really do believe that I could be a quality software developer. Its not my nature to be arrogant or a know it all, but I am still very confident in my abilities. Also, do you think its best to explain my grades or just leave that topic alone?
