Here are the five most popular college application checklists.  These checklists are generic for an application to any college, and are all free to download and use.

1. College Board's checklist - This is a nice checklist by CollegeBoard.com, which is a big name in college admissions.
2. Union Plus's checklist - A print ready no-frills checklist for a more seasoned or educated applicant.
3. Student Aid's checklist - Starts all the way from before high school and gives quick hints of what to focus on through each year in high school and through the admission.  This one will look a little strange because its a PDF and I could not get the link to the actual PDF document.  This is the html version of it.
4. Suite 101's checklist - A quick read, this offers an idea of what materials will be required across multiple college applications.  Good to know.
5. eHow's checklist - This one actually shows how to make one's own checklist for applying to college.  If you did not love one of the above lists, or you love to do these things from scratch then this is the link to use.
