do you have to apply to college every year?
whats the difference between number admitted and enrolled, and also, the number admitted is always higher than the one enrolled? I’m a little confused about all this.

For that reason, a college may accept 100 students, but only 94 may actually decide to enroll.
As to your initial question, once a person applies to and is accepted by a college, that acceptance is good until graduation, with certain restrictions. For instance, a student has to maintain a certain grade average (not flunk out); the student may have to complete the program of study within a certain number or years (like if you attend a four-year college, you may have six or eight years to complete the program of study and get a degree — this accommodates students who have to take time off to work or be home with kids or be caregivers to elderly parents, etc.); the student has to be in good standing regarding payments to the school of fees and tuition.
So long as those (and any other) restrictions are met, the student does not re-apply. However, let’s say a student applies and enrolls, attends for two years and then drops out for six years. That student would have to re-apply for admission to come back.
Number Admitted: Number accepted to the university
Number Enrolled: Number registered for classes.
The reason the admitted number is higher than the enrolled number is because not everyone who was admitted to the university chose to go. Some make last minute changes or decide to defer.
Number of admitted is how many people got accepted into the school.
Number of enrollment is how many people actually decided to attend the school.
You can apply to a school, get into it and decide that you do not want to go there.
