Correct preposition (to / into / at) with the words "admit" and "admission"

- The prisoner was admitted (to / into /at) a government hospital in Delhi.

- She wasn't allowed admission (to / into/ at) the University because of her low grades in the entrance exam.


Tell me please which preposition is OK to use with "admit" and "admission".


Thank you all!

'at' is not correct in either of the sentences. The common preposition is 'to' for both of them. The 'in' part in 'into' is redundant as it is somewhat implied in the word 'admission'.
