They may lower the standard a little if you excel at certain popular sports as Oxford and Cambridge do when they let a few 'Yanks' in to try to win the boat race, but you still need a bit of oil in your lamp to get into these. From what I have seen on film about colleges in the USA, the Ivy League excepted, if you can 'play ball' you can be taught to read and write later (about a week before they dish the degrees out)
