I've been told they look at gpa's pretty heavily right now and hopefully mine will help me stand out. Thanks for inputting how they asked you in your interview about taking six years to finish your degree. That will help me be better prepared for questions like that.

What I've noticed the last couple times we have hired is that those with higher GPA's seem to get called earlier. I'm not sure if actual data would back that up, but it seems that way to me. With a 3.68 and employment history showing you worked while getting a degree should be no problem.
The problem right now is if you are not mil or from CPS or the SSP there are not that many slots for anyone else so it will take some time to get down through the stack they have.
