My advice. If you feel like 1) you don't want to go straight to college or 2) your grades arent quite up to Columbia standards but you have a high SAT score....join the military. Spend a couple of years gaining real world experience, and the fortitude and discipline that comes with it...then come back and go to GS. I have many friends who did this. One is currently at Harvard Law, another at Stanford Med, and a third is now an officer commanding a special forces team. Like was said before, GS caters to the non-traditional students. Many come out of the services. The experience is invaluable.
