You'll need to submit your UCAS application sometime between September and January of your A2s - there is an early deadline in October for Oxbridge/ Medicine/ VetMed etc. but all other courses have an early January equal consideration deadline.
You should probably think about writing your personal statement over your summer holidays after ASs - you don't want to be doing it during autumn term when you need to be focusing on your A levels.
Not many courses have interviews (although most of the early deadline ones do), and their dates will vary a lot. Oxbridge tend to interview in November/ December - but medicine etc. could be any time between October and March.
