However to say that you "doubt" anyone has gotten an interview without completing their degree in five years can be a misleading statement. You can't and don't know that statement to be true, just like it would be untrue if I said people in this situation will not be affected when being considered as an applicant.
No worries. I really just didn't want to be the guy that mislead others. I guess I thought when I used the word "doubt" that was just my opinion with no facts to back it up. I should have overemphasized the word "Unless" because if you have something else on your app then over 5 years might not be such a big deal.
Their is no single qualifier on your app that will get you the intervew just as no single qualifier on your app will keep you from getting the interview. It's the entire picture that they look at.
