admission

Confession or entrance

Admission is the act of being allowed entry or the fee required for it: Admission to the museum is free on Sundays.

It also means acknowledgment of something typically unfavorable: His silence was an admission of guilt.

By extension, admission covers acceptance into an institution: college admissions, hospital admission.

To gain admission is to be let in, physically or figuratively.
