If you're ready to do your startup, then do it. Start building it today, have something to show in a couple of weeks, measure progress and success. If it doesn't work out and you need some time to regroup, go to school then. Educational institutions aren't going away, unlike that favourite startup you were considering working at before they get big and sell out. Sometimes you're just not ready but you know you will be soon. In this case, go to a good school and equip your mind with things you'll mostly never use but still somehow benefit from in the long run. Learn computer science, meet amazing people, be inspired. If you're not sure, do both. A top university can be rough, but it's amazing how much you can scale your effort while still getting reasonable grades and learning. If you're not worrying about a job with big corporations, grades don't matter much. Go to school, meet and recruit amazing people, work at it until you're ready to go full time. Just don't waste all your time playing videogames while being indecisive.
