Legacies are when your family has helped or graduated from this college so you can get in the college with lower standards than everyone else. I.e my grandfather was a famous soccer player in georgia tech and he graduated from their and from what i read you need to have a 3.6 to get in the college but for me it would be around 3.3. But that is because a Georgia tech is very strict about legacy other schools legacy won't matter. Legacy can also happen when a student parent is giving the college money so if the students don't get accepted, the money gifts are probably going to stop. But some colleges just use the legacies as a tiebreaker If you and someone else are very similar in grades SAT etc. You if you have legacy will get the edge and win.

Should I apply as foreign or a citizen
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/209600-can-dual-citizenship-hurt-you-your-app.html
I should apply as a US citizen as it would give me more benefits and i could get in the college eaier than if I applied like a colombian citizen. But some say it wouldn't make a difference saying I would get the US benfits and the cultural benefits the Colleges see my colombian passport.

I want to now how much it would cost for a good college (estimate)
I want to now how long to you have live in a state to get in state tuition.
What is ultimately better to have to undergraduate degree or 1 master.
For a college that is rated top 100 in the US cost from 30 grand up to 250 grand.http://businessmajors.about.com/od/payingforschool/a/CollegeCosts.htm
According to this site it says you have to live 12 months in the state to get the tuitionhttp://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/savings/articles/2009/12/23/how-to-get-in-state-tuition
Having 1 masters degree is better than having to undergraduate degree even though having two would be helpful.
I learned in state tuition is a good way to cut your expenses in half and when it that amount of money it could be a life saver. The bad things is you would have to live in the state for a year and is only for public school.
Also you should really look for your school because bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.
think about what you're going to study because if you switch careers you'll lose all the time you've been in the other career.

Linux
I know nothing about this topic.
What is it, what does it do, who made it.
Linux is an operating system system.
It was released in 1991
Linus Torvalds was the main guy who created Linux
It is specially made for coding.
It is the third major brand of computers after Apple and Microsoft.
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/
http://www.ntchosting.com/linux-operating-system.html
This topic relates to my life because next time I'm going to buy a computer I will think about buying a cheap Linux instead of a expensive mac. Also it said in one site that Linux is made for coders so many of the sites i got to probably have been created by Linux computers.
