<p>*** is this? Do you get the same degree as CC? Do Law schools look down on it, compared to CC? I would really appreciate some info on it, and why someone wouldn't just go to CC. Is GS a cheap extension of CC?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I dont know the exact difference between the schools but on collegeboard.com, the school of general studies is a lot less selective. google it?</p>
<p>it's for nontraditional students (ie, at least one year gap since high school). there's a large thread about it on these forums.</p>
<p>GS is for students who have experienced an "interruption" in their education, such as gap years and what not. (fyi, average age of a GS student is 27)</p>
<p>GS is NOT an "extension" school; it grants BA/BS degrees. If you want an extension school, look into Columbia's School of Continuing Education. Also, GS and CC are separate units. While you can go from CC to GS, you cannot go from GS to CC.</p>
