Matt Sanchez
Corporal Matt Sanchez, GS '07 is a 36-year old Columbia student. He was formerly a gay porn star and escort. He also did a stint in the military and remains a Marine Corps reservist.
Sanchez first became well known for complaining to anyone who would listen about how he was taunted by Columbia leftists for being a minority in the military. He also claimed that the military is an underrepresented minority on campus. His media career started with an interview in the Columbia Spectator, after which he appeared on all sorts of conservative talk shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes. Sanchez is associated with right-wing clubs on campus like the Columbia College Conservative Club and the College Republicans.
At some CPAC conference, where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark, he received some award. A bunch of gay bloggers (such as Joe. My. God) recognized him as a former gay porn star by the name of Rod Majors. The story was rapidly seized upon by blogs like The Bwog and Gawker, and has since been covered by several major news organizations. It has also emerged that he was an escort in 4 major cities.
Presumably he didn't write about these experiences in his application essay.
