Getting over process for getting into university (8)
I believe the answer is:
clearing
'getting' is the definition.
(clearing is a kind of getting)
'process for getting into university' is the wordplay.
'process' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of process).
'for getting into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'university' becomes 'cling' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ear' placed into 'cling' is 'CLEARING'.
'over' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clearing that I've seen before include "part of wood" , "open area" , "Sort of bank" , "part of forest" , "becoming brighter" .)
