**Admittee** describes such a person. From [Webster’s][1]: > :a person who is allowed to enter a place (such as a college or > university) :a person who is admitted > > But the college can’t know > :a person who is allowed to enter a place (such as a college or > university) :a person who is admitted. > Worse, it can’t know which ones. In putting together its **admittee** list > it took great pains to strike a balance—men and women, athletes and > musicians, black and white, rich and poor. —James Fallows, The > Atlantic, November 2003 The most common way I have read colleges and institutions referring such people is simply as “admitted candidates” or “admitted students”.
