<p>For all of you: here is a trick to get into the college you want to get into - work there! If you can prove that you can handle a few free classes, you might be able to get in on that merit. A janitor at Columbia did this, and finally graduated:

<p>The only problem is that some colleges like the one I work at are forcing people to get accepted into a program before taking a class. That sux for people who don’t have a strong educational background and negates tuition benefits for them.</p>
