Everyone has given great advice above. The main mistake I have made is we should have applied Early Decision for all the schools. We did get decisions early from several schools but we are still waiting. We've pretty much made our decision, though.
Start applying in the summer before Senior year. I don't work, and it took a lot of time even with the Common Application (tedious)..
