Overall view of senior year college planning:
This is a guide:
Each college has different requirements and deadlines, so check on each school's calendar and make a matrix with requirements and deadlines.
If you have not already done so, register at the web site of each college that interests you.If you plan to apply at departments of colleges within that school, go to that site and sign up there, as well. This lets the college, and a department know that you are out there and interested.
Plan to submit your college applications early, rather than on the due date, if possible. There has been, over the years, the occasional problem with college application servers, particularly at large colleges, as they receive the deluge of last minute applications.
