take the SAT ASAP (study some first, maybe…though I went in cold) I would suggest taking it twice, 3x max…
princetonreview.com is nice for college research. Fastwebs.com is good for scholarships. Always check out the websites for the colleges as well. Understand that the websites are gimmicks to sell the college, but understanding this, you can read between the lines and glean a lot of information.
Figure out where you want to go by the end of junior year. I started my search the same time you did, and I have changed a lot in the past year. Be aware of things you can do to prepare, but always do things only if they really interest you. Takes SAT subject tests, as well at the SAT 1, and ACT if you want, ASAP. That way you will not have to cram a bunch of tests into a short amount of time (my mistake). The common app. essays never change, so brainstorm on those.
Good Luck!!!
