How to use 录取

录取 is used when a school, university, or employer accepts someone after an exam or selection process. It often appears with 被 (bèi) to say someone was admitted. Example: 她被北京大学录取了。(Tā bèi Běijīng Dàxué lùqǔ le.) She was admitted to Peking University.

录 (lù) means to record, as in 记录 (jìlù), and 取 (qǔ) means to take, as in 取得 (qǔdé). When a school admits you, it writes your name down and takes you in.

Common mistake: Learners sometimes confuse 录取 (lùqǔ) with 录音 (lùyīn) or 记录 (jìlù) because they share 录, but 录取 has nothing to do with recording sound or notes. Also remember 取 is third tone, qǔ, not fourth tone like 去 (qù).
