Nice work, CEH and CISSP is a winning combo.

At my company, if you want to get in as a security analyst you MUST possess the CISSP and/or CEH. No and if's buts!

Anyway rant off, well done!

Honestly, I think it might depend on which school (and their academic focus)... I would imagine that school's with reputations in the computer sciences, and security in particular, would be more understanding of having rigorous security controls and good network hygiene.
