Like they’ve said, start applying about mid-junior year. Apply to summer seminar and all that jazz. As for when you should start preparing? The moment you decide you might want to come here. Start getting in shape for the CFA, stay involved with sports/extracurriculars maybe even pick up another if time allows (just remember, quality over quantity), and make sure to keep those grades up. The average entering gpa for the class of 2013 (best to be seen!) was something like 3.87. One really big time saving thing you can do is to start a file of every accomplishment since at least the beginning of high school. That won’t help you just with the summer seminar and main academy application, but it will help also with applications to other colleges and for scholarships.
