are there any colleges that accept people who do good in chess

I heard Harvard's chess team is mainly 1800s.

One of my high school players, rated around 1500, on the county champion, 3rd-in-state chess team I coached, went with his parents to visit Princeton Univ. in your state of New Jersey.  They had the captain of Princeton's chess team waiting there to play him.  You could ask there or at other colleges near to you.

UMBC - my alma mater - outside of Baltimore, Maryland, which beat #1 ranked Virginia in basketball's March Madness, is always ranked extremely high in chess:

OUR LEGACY:

• PAN-AMERICAN INTERCOLLEGIATE TEAM CHESS CHAMPIONS
  • 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012
  • A record 10 times!
• NATIONAL COLLEGIATE TEAM CHESS CHAMPIONS
  • 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010

They mostly recruit people who are masters or candidate masters but their program includes improving players and would be a GREAT place to do so.

In the Scholastic State championship my high school went to, i saw one guy on the pairing sheet was like 2507!!! Like how does an 18 year old get so freakin high!!?

there is that guy who beats up NYC chess hustlers and titles every video with IVY-league student crushing chess hustler (hustler maybe rated around 1600) and you dont know how many takes go wrong

Chess Hustlers are beatable. You just have to keep a solid position, don't let time pressure get to you, and not get distracted by their random style of play that they try to surprise you with. Basically, play like a computer, no emotions.
