Which Colleges Accept the Common Application? The Common Application membership association was established in 1975 by 15 private colleges that wished to provide a common, standardized first-year application form for use at any member institution. With the administrative support of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the organization grew steadily throughout its first 30 years. The following is a list of all of the colleges and universities that accept the Common Application.
