Admissions refer to the process through which educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, evaluate and select students for enrollment. This process typically involves submitting an application that includes personal information, academic records, and sometimes standardized test scores. Institutions may also require letters of recommendation and personal essays to assess a candidate's suitability. The admissions process can vary significantly between institutions. Some may have rolling admissions, allowing students to apply at any time, while others have specific deadlines. Additionally, certain programs may have unique requirements, such as interviews or portfolios, particularly in fields like art or music.
