Admitted versus accepted?

There's something I've been a bit confused about - what's the difference between being 'admitted' and 'accepted' into a university? Is there any difference? Thanks in advance!

There's no real difference between being "admitted" and "accepted" into a university. Both terms refer to the approval of a student's application and an invitation to join the incoming class at the college or university. In many contexts, the terms "admitted" and "accepted" can be used interchangeably to describe a student's successful application to a college or university. So, regardless of which term is used, congrats on the positive outcome of your application!
