I think we can sum this up with, college is easy as hell to get into in the US. You just have to be smart and find a good college. You can't just jump into some privitized rip your lungs out school, and expect much.

Scholarships are free money given to people whom meet certain criteria. There may be a scholorship out there for being a moron, or one for being Irish. Its all dependant on the private party giving out the scholarships.
