On top of this she rarely talks to us about her school work or what she needs to do this summer re; college preparing. Oh, she's mentioned various schools and I've seen a list she typed up. But, I'm not sure if she's checking out what their admission requirements are or if they have EA, etc. We do plan to do a tour of several CA schools this summer. I'm pretty sure I have an idea of where she'll apply, at least in CA.

Perhaps you can help her find the admissions requirements and stats for the schools on her current list. Starting some kind of spreadsheet for the different schools may help her realize what she needs to get done, but don't go crazy with tons of expectations for summer acomplishments beyond her required assignments. Nagging rarely works and seems unnecessary for a kid who has always gotten the job done.
If SAT scores are her weakness, she may want to consider giving the ACT a try this fall.
Please try to relax, she sounds like a great, normal kid (most do not read the newspaper).
