Factual error: When Sherman creates the fake college website, he states that it ends in .edu, which can only be given out to an accredited university.

Factual error: When the sprinklers go off during the S.H.I.T. party, Maurice yells "Wet T-shirt party!" into the mic and the DJ keeps playing with no problems. In reality, that amount of water would quickly destroy the audio equipment, and in all likelihood electrocute people as well. (01:06:15)

Factual error: Universities in the US are not accredited by state boards but rather by regional organizations. Even if Ohio had an accreditation board, questions of accreditation are not addressed in person by those opposed to a school, but rather by written information in a brief.

Audio problem: When they first enter the building they are going to use for the fake school, Bartleby tries to put a board back in the ceiling, and a body falls to the ground. Schrader screams, but the scream is heard before he actually opens his mouth. You don't see his mouth open until the camera pans into his character, but the scream is audible about a half-second before the camera movement.

Question: Since Bartleby has a talent for computer skills (creating a bogus website, fake IDs), why didn't those skills help him apply to a good college?

Answer: His friend is the one that created the website and all the necessary documents for the fake school. Even if his friend was able to create such a website, this wouldn't change his transcript from high school, which would negate any abilities used to apply to another school. No matter how creative you are in falsifying documents and websites, you can't change your school transcript unless you hack the schools records, and maybe they drew the line at that. He DID apply to many colleges and was rejected by them all, as demonstrated by the beginning of the movie.
