It is worth trying at least. In the meantime make some personal projects that prove what you can do. It can be a simple game, or a solution to help a small business.
Don't forget that networking can also help you bypass such requirements if you have an internal referral.

Good advice. A friend of mine dropped out of his Computer Science course but still went for a job at a games company Rare. He sent them his code for a rotating 3D light sourced car written in GW Basic, and got the job!
