In 11th grade
College application
Something I would do is look for and select colleges you are thinking of applying to this year. Then, I would start by filling out the common app and then, writing out any type of essay the college is looking for this year so you don't have to worry about it and stress out next year. I would also recommend that you start asking your teachers that you want to write recommendation letter this year over the summer because that way they will have enough time to figure out and write your recommendation instead of everyone asking at the same time.
I fully recommend you talk to your guidance counselor about this. They help with everything and they can help you with applications and choosing colleges. They can also help you with dates and essays. But if you are going to 12th grade it depends on the Uni. Most applications begin at the end of the year.
