When I do get an interview, they are surprised that I am a recent college graduate.

Any system that you did, that is not for yourself (e.g. tutorial, personal purposes), that are verifiable (e.g. you can provide contact info of the company who tasked you to do it), then I would consider that an experience, put it in my resume, and add it to my count of my experience months/years.
However, if I say that, then I think I have little chance of even being considered for any programming positions. Given all of this, how do I accurately reflect my skills in my resume and at the same time maximize the chances of getting hired for an entry level position?

On the plus side, you're no different than any other student, so I wouldn't be so concerned. Most positions you'll find online are not for recent college grads. College grads are typically hired through the Career Services offices on campus. Have you tried yours?

The people at Career Services know me quite well. They are very helpful in critiquing my resume and cover letters, but in my experience, they haven't been very helpful in finding jobs to apply for.

I've never heard of any school where they help you find jobs to which to apply. They are usualy just their in an advisory capacity. But surely they do on campus recruiting; are you doing that? Are you going to career fairs? Are you going to career fairs at other local schools? How many alumni from your school have you contacted regarding jobs?
