We started visiting colleges during spring break of junior year. Some college applications are online as early as summer (July/August??) of each year. You can probably open a common app. account at any time (might want to look into this) and start to enter data whenever you want. This includes essay writing. You can find topic choices onthe Common. App site. I’d also recommend you start to compile a “resume” or list of activities and dates. That will come in very handy.
