They don't care necessarily as long as other parts of your resume look
good.

They will look at:

-school name/prestige

-GPA

-leadership activities

-campus involvement

-personality/fit with the firm

a) I think the most important part is that you have a degree... not how long it took you to get it.

b) Why bring it up? All your resume needs is a graduation date or expected graduation date. No need to point out when you started.
