If you qualify with sufficient evidence of intelligence, yes. Schools 
generally don't want to waste resources on the uneducable.

But you may first have to know how to spell "college."   ;-)

It's not that different from competitive shooting, John. You wouldn't 
welcome a person with uncontrollable tremors onto your target shooting 
team, so it's not really "open to anyone." We wouldn't welcome a person 
who couldn't learn algebra into our engineering school, but it's open to 
anyone who's qualified.
