selective admission
Not open enrollment
Selective admission is a policy where institutions choose applicants based on criteria like grades, test scores, or interviews rather than accepting all who apply.
Universities with selective admission reject many qualified candidates: The school's selective admission process accepts only fifteen percent of applicants.
The term also appears in medical contexts, referring to hospital policies that limit which patients they accept.
