When to apply?

So I start my pre-reqs this Fall.

Only the Math/English/an elective/a class about getting back into school I forgot the name. So 4.

My science classes wont start until Spring and that is the time I need to do my CNA class since I have to have my CNA.

When they say apply to nursing program and apply to multiple schools - when do you actually apply?

I was told I can apply for Nursing program next Fall but when do I do it? Spring or Summer?

The one school I wanna go says they have a spring virtual meeting thing I have to look out for, I gotta get more information on that.
