It happens on Brazil as well. It's common for people to take six-months courses to review all high-school contents before taking the entrance exam, and it's also common for them to fail at least once. Depending on the college and graduation you want, you might be competing with other 15, 20 people for that spot. But that happens mostly on the public colleges, that not only are free, but considered much better than the private ones. And then we get a cross: rich people can pay for the courses and go to the (free and better) public colleges, while poor people must join a (paid and worse) private college. It's quite messed up.
