Being a photomajor myself, the best thing to do would to wait to buy a pricier camera until you get into your first photo class. Go out and get a cheap SLR,and start shooting like crazy, but wait to get anything too advanced.
There are two reasons for this. If you get a cheap camera without a ton of automated features you'll be able to concentrate on apetures, shutter speeds, blah blah blah. Also, once you get into a class you'll be able to talk to your proffessors, and get their opinion, as well as your classmates.
If your applying to a school that requires a portfolio review beforehand and you don't have a lot of decent work, good luck. If they don't require one it's still a good idea to bring a small selection of work just to show you're serious about it. Also, avoid all possible cliches. Srsly, just stay away. You will get laughed at.
