I generally agree that experience is key, but as far as getting your foot in the door, it matters. I went to one of the top CS schools and have no doubt that the name helped get me where I am.

I do plenty of recruiting and since we can't visit every school, we pick the best. So, it's not just a matter of the education you get, but the opportunities that are presented to you. I believe that you can get a great CS education without going to a well known school, but your opportunities will be different.
