A person who is accepted, particularly someone who has been accepted to a school, organization, or position.
From 'accept' plus the suffix '-ee' meaning 'one who receives.' This is a modern formation paralleling 'employee,' 'trustee,' and similar agent nouns.
This word gained popularity with college acceptance letters—acceptees celebrate getting in, while universities count how many acceptees actually enroll (the acceptance yield).
