There are a lot of college application admission options. It’s a bit daunting at first: should you apply “Early Decision,” "Early Action," "Early Action Single Choice," or "Regular Decision"? Probably the best first step is to go to the website of each potential school and review the applicable restrictions and deadlines. If you want an up to date list of which schools offer these options (or a combination of them) go to: http://www.nacac.com/college-search/search.cfm. In the meantime, however, it's not a bad idea to gain a general sense of how each of these options works.
