selective admission

Selective admission refers to the process by which educational institutions, such as universities or colleges, choose students based on specific criteria rather than accepting all applicants. This often involves evaluating academic performance, test scores, essays, interviews, and extracurricular activities. Institutions aim to select candidates who fit their academic standards and institutional values, ensuring a diverse and capable student body. Selective admission can lead to more competitive applications, as students strive to meet the desired qualifications to gain acceptance into their desired school.
