Business is a very popular major and competition is stiff for the last few slots ( they do save a few spots for reviews but it fills quickly every year with automatic admits). Biomedical science is also popular with those going into medical school. Computer Science is in the school of Engineering, but Information management is within Mays (business). If your major is full, you will be asked to pick another major.

Your bigger challenge is to be admitted to the university. The way that works is you will be reviewed 50% will be scores & rank, the other 50% everything else. A 30 ACT is what is needed for academic admits, so it is a good goal number. You are in the 2nd quartile, so you will not be an academic admit no matter how high you score - but obviously the higher the better. You can update scores until Dec 1. Your essays once submitted can’t be changed so make sure you are satisfied with them. If you have any special challenges do mention them within the essays (creatively). The income portion will come to play with scholarships & some special programs available, although it can be a factor in admissions if there is in impact. There are study programs available for free online (Khan Academy is one), do not take too many units at a college before you apply - you limit your options for Blinn Team selection. Good luck!
