College help ASAP please

<p>Hello, currently I am becoming increasingly stressed about college and need some answers from people who know about college and admission and all of that (our counselors are lousy at best)
So my first question is I am going to be a first generation college student and I want to know how much that helps.</p>

<p>I also want to know how much legacy helps in determining your admission into that college.</p>

<p>Also I am wondering if the cost of the school is going to limit where I am able to go drastically or if the aid offered will be plenty to not have to worry about it. My mother doesn't work anymore and my father probably makes around 55,000-60,000 currently.</p>

<p>My next question is regarding sending scores for the ACT to colleges. My current score is a 25 and I am taking the October 26th test and my practice tests have been an average of 30-31. Now what I am wondering is if I apply for early action as some schools and send my current scores will that hurt my admission chances into them as compared to waiting and seeing what I get on the October 26th test date? Because I have heard applying for early action helps a lot in the college decision.
I am also wondering if it will be too late to reach this November 1st deadline for many early action and how important is early action?</p>

<p>My other question is if you could name some colleges that might be able to fit me and my desires (live in Oklahoma) but I am open to really going about anywhere. So good colleges that will help me get into a good job?</p>

<p>My next question is I have no idea where I want to go to college and I don't even know exactly what I want to do with my life (as expected). However I do want to do something business related and maybe something health business related. The problem I am encountering now is for example rice doesn't have a business college, but does that mean I shouldn't go there? I have legacy and think I could maybe get some good financial aid from them, but they don't have business majors. I am wondering why some of the top universities don't have business majors and if that should deter me from applying to places like that. And if not what can I take instead that will leave me open to many options in the business world</p>

<p>My last question is about my future in the business field. I know money shouldn't play a huge factor in it, but I am wondering some decently high paying jobs in the business field I could pursue. Like I would eventually like to make anywhere from 80-100k+.
So what jobs could I look into and what majors should I look into for this path. Currently I have shown interest in business management, marketing, and finance. In particular I think I would enjoy maybe a combination of those if possible, so if you have any ideas on jobs that are well enough paying to live comfortable?</p>

<p>Again thank you to anyone who can help me in any way!!!!</p>

<p>Dude, all the questions… I feel like researching these topics will do you a world of good. Do that. Look up early action. Look up colleges and their stance on legacies, their applicant score ranges, their financial aid policies. A lot of those things depend on the college.</p>

<p>And for the general, what should I do with my future questions: That’s up to you. If you don’t know where you want to go, it’s best to hold off on early action. You need to take the time to seriously research colleges to find the ones that fit you best. I suggest talking to your guidance counselor, if you aren’t homeschooled.</p>
