Easiest College to Get Into Worldwide?

This might sound a bit weird, but does anyone know which colleges worldwide have the easiest admission criteria? I'm not necessarily only interested in US options.

This is an interesting question! Admission standards vary from one college to another and can depend on a range of factors, including the quality of the institution, its location, the programs it offers, and the competitiveness of the applicant pool in a given year.

However, some universities do have automatic admission based on test scores and GPA. A well-known example in the United States is the University of Texas system. If you're in the top 6% of your high school class in Texas, you're automatically admitted to any of the UT system schools, including the flagship university at Austin. The University of Missouri also has a similar policy if a student exceeds a certain ACT/SAT score and GPA threshold.

Some schools also have open admissions policies, which means that they accept any applicant with a high school diploma or GED without requiring further academic qualifications. Community colleges in the U.S. often fall into this category.

That said, keep in mind that the quality of education you'll receive differs greatly from school to school, and just because a college has relaxed admissions standards doesn't necessarily mean it's the right fit for you. You'll want to consider factors like program offerings, location, size, and student life before making a decision.

In the end, the "easiest" college to get into might depend more on your specific qualifications, aspirations, and needs than on a universal standard. Remember that a college education is what you make of it, so even a school with less competitive admissions can still offer you a great education if you're willing to work hard and take advantage of the resources available.
