Just as a heads up - I also finished my college on the 12+ year program and I can say that it was a MAJOR topic of discussion during my DL interview. Not finishing school in the traditional manner was a big red flag but I was prepared to talk about it - which was a good thing since a good chunk on the interview time was spent discussing it. I did have some things going for me though - I finished school strong (graduated with honors), and had advanced far at my regional airline (chief check airman, APD, etc.) and I think those things were able to offset my unusual collage path.
Congrats on finally getting it done and good luck!
