One won't get any of that if one can't read properly!
Are there no such requirements for US colleges?
Of course. You must apply and be accepted to most. The problem is a high school diploma can be "earned" with barely the skills to get through college now. Some colleges even insist on remedial study for courses a student is too weak in. They want you to graduate and not waste their time, or keep other students who would graduate from finding a slot.

But hey, if you can kick a ball real good, they'll bend over backwards to get you graduated. Special tutoring and such.
