Columbia General Studies

I was accepted to Columbia School of General Studies for fall 2019. I was wondering how the recruiting is there. Is it a target? I hear mixed answers regarding this but I was wondering how it’s perceived on Wall Street. I finished high school a year early and became an EMT and volunteer firefighter during my gap year before starting college the next year. I’m finishing sophomore year and have had a solid internship at a M&A advisory firm for PE firms and investment banks freshman year. This summer I’ll most likely be doing PWM at Morgan Stanley. Does GS recruiting lack because of the average age of 28 or because of bias?
