This invalidates my previous statement. It also means that you'd most likely have moved on to CPL, CFI, and CFII by this point.

Where you received your training is only one part of the equation. Since Delta was mentioned in an earlier post, I'll reference their website with regard to how prospective pilots are evaluated.
"When evaluating the flight time of applicants meeting the basic qualifications, consideration will be given to, among other things, quality, quantity, recency, and verifiability of training; complexity of aircraft flown; types of flight operations; and hours flown as PIC in turbine powered aircraft."
I would say that you should worry less about where you go to school, and more about what you do with the training you receive. Find challenging work, do a great job. That will get you where you need to go.
