HA, suzi, it's so simple. Could you tell why? Thank you very much.0
erm - not sure if I can say why ..
it must be something to do with the meaning and the conventions governing how these words are used .. but I don't know exactly what the technical terms would be
for the sentence you wrote you have to use denied, it is "the admission" which is being denied ...
You COULD say:"They were rejected because they were foreigners"
