Depends-GENERALLY-The older the debt the less it will help your credit score. When lenders look at you credit history, they look over the entire 7-10 yrs on it not just the last 6-7 months. But remeber, lenders are typically very interested in your debt/income ratio and paying off old accts may help in that area considerably.

Is it better to apply to college undecided so that you may increase your chances of getting in?

Applying with an 'undecided' major will not boost your chances of acceptance at any school. That said, neither will applying with a decided major. If you scored particularly well on a specific test, such as SATII Chem, maybe you could put your major as something sciency - showing admissions officers that you're good at what you want to be. Overall though, major shouldn't affect chances of admission significantly.
