You should start to fill out the common application (a very large number of schools use this) online in the summer after your junior year. You should also write your personal essay that same summer, or even a bit earlier. Don’t you have a guidance counselor at school who can help you? If not, start looking at web sites of colleges that you have heard of or that you might be interested in. They have deadlines and what you need to do very easily available. Also be certain to look at the finances of these schools. It costs a lot of money to go to college, and many people need to apply for financial aid. College Confidential has tons of fine information on many of its sub-categories and threads. You are doing fine to start your process and your search now, but don’t start worrying too much or spending too much time on it, until midway into your junior year. You will do your applying at the beginning of senior year.
