First of all, take a breath. You have a bit to figure this out. ( that is if you are going into your junior year)
The colleges within a university are just like, subdividers of the university, and the majors you are interested in fall under these different subdivisions. These colleges are not seperate schools and in most cases do not require seperate applications, they are more just a schools way of organizing their majors. Majors are more like, Psychology, or English-- the more direct subjects you want to study. Most schools will let you apply undeclared anyways, which would give some time to figure out what you were most interested in. Also, you can double major ( have two majors) or a Major and a Minor. Thus you could easily take classes under two "colleges" in one university.
As for scores, it depends greatly on your GPA, extracarriculars,and what schools you are looking at applying to-- the rigor of acceptance differs greatly between schools. You will apply for college in the fall of your senior year, and your junior year is the most important year as far as grades, so work hard, and take the hardest classes available too you!
