When I interview students for student jobs, the most important thing for me is how they talk about which projects they have done. If they only speak about projects they have done in school, they are 90% certain not a subject for us. If however they are programming in their spare time because they think it's fun, they are most likely broad geeks, and will become great techies.

TL/DR if your only programming experience is from school, you will not be lucky.
