This might sound a bit forward, but thinking back to that time, I would have really appreciated a nice friendly book about writing college essays. I was eager to get to started on the fabled "college process," and reading such a book would have been a great place to direct my energy. Obviously, if this is more likely to cause stress it should be avoided, but I'm sure there are also people out there who are enthusiastic like I was. (otherwise, I guess I'm just very weird...)

edit...because the contrast with the post before me is bothering me. I do sound overly chipper don't I? I just like this sort of thing. I only applied to like a few (count on one hand) nearby schools, so it wasn't for some kind of conquest. but I thought (and think) college is cool.
