admissions
Accepted applicant notifications
Admissions is the process or department handling entry into institutions—colleges, hospitals, theaters.
The admissions office reviews applications.
A university's admissions rate indicates selectivity.
The word also means acknowledgments of truth, especially uncomfortable ones: His admissions in court damaged his case.
An admission is a single instance; admissions names the ongoing function or multiple instances.
