College Application Checklist
Application season has a lot of moving parts — transcripts, test scores, essays, recommendation letters, financial aid, and the applications themselves. This checklist groups every common task by category, lets you add a deadline to any item, and fills a progress bar as you go so you always know what's left. It's completely free and nothing is saved — everything runs right in your browser and clears when you refresh.

Questions about this tool
What does this checklist do?
It organizes every common college-application task by category, lets you add an optional deadline to any item, and fills a progress bar as you check things off. You can also add your own tasks and print or save the whole list as a PDF.
Is it free and private?
Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up. Everything runs right in your browser and nothing is saved or sent anywhere, so your list clears the moment you refresh or close the page.
Any tips for using it?
Add real deadlines to the essay, FAFSA, and submission tasks first so the 'days left' labels warn you before anything slips. Then print a copy to hang up, and reset it for each school if you like.
