I'm applying for Baskin Robbins, and I was just wondering if there's a higher chance of me getting a summer job if I turn it in this month as opposed to turning it in the week before summer starts. Because I told my friend I was going to apply tomorrow, & she just told me to wait until the summer to apply.
Also, does anyone know any other place I could apply that hires 15 year olds? (Something like restaurants/fast food/etc)

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
I would fill out the application now, because in the summer, someone could already be hired.
Now, as for your other question:
Start researching. Find organizations and other places that you know pay teens to work. Good places to check are government departments and nonprofit organizations such as City Park and Recreation Departments, Zoos, Museums, Camps, and Hospitals. Also try looking for work in fast-food restaurants.
Use your connections. Talk to friends and family about any paying jobs they might know of, and follow through.
Don't be afraid to volunteer. Sometimes, the best way to get a paying job is to begin as a volunteer and work your way up. You may have to give some of your time for free to make money in the long run.
Apply early! The most important key to getting jobs with these places is to apply as soon as you hear about jobs. Always be on the lookout--sometimes recruitment starts as early as February or March for summer jobs.
Take initiative. Many agencies and organizations get grants to hire teens in the summer and after school. Even if they typically hire kids who are already volunteering for them, you never know. Contact them to find out what is available.
Demonstrate your skills. If you are a good worker, you will have a greater chance of being hired because they already know your work, they aren't just reading someone's application. You can show organizations that you are a good worker through volunteering or through references.
Increase your earnings. After working at the entry level position for a few summers or after school, you will the have the experience to work at a higher level once you are out of High School. This can help you pay your way through college, and you can practically guarantee you'll always have a summer job. In some cases (in the S.F.Bay Area), you could go from getting minimum wage to getting $15-17/hr.
Tips
Don't try fancy restaurants and sales outlets, just try fast food and places with high turn-over.
Get the word out. You can post flyers in your neighbhorhood detailing jobs that you can do, such as lawn mowing, babysitting, or dog-walking. You can also post your information on a website or job board, but beware of giving out personal information until you trust the other person.
Once you've done good work for someone, ask if you can use them as a reference for future jobs.
Treat your volunteer work as if it were a paying job -- get there on time, call as soon as you know you can't come in or are going to be late. Listen and learn about the organization. Do such a good job they learn to rely on you.
Employers can often tell within the first week if you are going to be a good employee.
* Try to get a job in something that you are interested in, as it may help you get a career later in life!
Warnings
If you get a job at someone's house, always tell your parents where you are going to be, better yet, have them drop you off and meet the person. Trust your gut... if something doesn't feel right, leave. If something happens to you, get some help.
Hope this helps.
