Columbia General Studies for IB

Hi,

I'm a student currently enrolled at a community college looking to transfer to a strong business program. I want to pursue a career in investment banking after undergrad and am looking for information on good business programs. My friend recently informed me of Columbia's School of General Studies and I am really interested in the school since it fits my situation. I was wondering how is the school's prestige and ability to set students up for a career in investment banking? Is the financial aid really that bad? Any other information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
