When translating an accusative gerundive, usually emphasis is made on the verb. See, for example, this website

The following expression exists In Classical latin: admittere aliquem ad honores (Caesar, Suetonius), to admit someone to honours, so I would freely translate "admitted [student's name] to the highest honours"
