I just wanted to throw in, that despite much admonition here to finish all testing by end of junior year, that we did not do that and my son applied ED with no problems. He re-took the SAT in fall of his senior year (and threw in an extra SAT II that, as it turns out, he didn't really need... but could have needed in RD).
The Oct. test date in senior year is no problem with ED, and in many (if not most) colleges the Nov. date works too.
We did three college visit trips. Spring break of junior year, another four-day weekend (of our own creation) in spring of junior year, and a four-day weekend very early in Sept. of senior year. He found his dream school during that Septemeber trip. We also tossed in random individual college visits starting early in his junior year when we were in the vicinity of a college. Not usually that he was so interested in that particular school, but just to get a feel for differences and cast a little bit wider net.
