Here's I think a much better way of saying it:

"Awesome at what you do and have some way of showing it."

I personally prefer links to past projects and code samples. Whether or not somebody knows their way around theory you can sort out in an interview (and having a degree from a top university is unfortunately a frustratingly bad indicator of such). Figuring out if they can code is a lot harder.

Agree 100%. We want projects and code samples... the school itself doesn't matter.
