Is it too late for me?

I’m 19 years old right now. I finished high school as a Junior, and at barely 17 years old. I’m a very intelligent student. I took many different subjects during those 3 years. I wish to go to an Ivy League school, but I have no proof of my knowledge. I do not have any APs, and only one SAT subject test. I wasted 2 years since my graduation, because I went to an online university and left it after 3 months when I found out how terrible the education is, and how expensive (70 grand!!!). My dream is to go to Harvard or Yale. Is it too late for me? Did I screw up as a high school student because I took no tests for valid proof? I have one great talent - art. It is something I was born with. I also am fluent in Russian, as my parents are from there.

I am thinking of going to community college right now and taking CLEP, AP, and SAT subject tests while I am there the 2 years. Plus, I will have a 2 year degree (hopefully with honors) to show to universities. Is this the right thing to do? Please, I need help. I am getting depressed because I feel like there is nothing I can do anymore, and that I am a failure, especially since I wasted 2 years…
