Hi,
Please look at the following sentences if they are correct. Have I used an appropriate preposition?

I got selected to university.
I got selected in university.
 
Neither sounds natural to me. I got into or was admitted to Harvard sounds natural in the American context.
 
not a teacher

I agree with probus, but if "I got selected…" is the appropriate phrase for your context then I would expect "for" to be the preposition.
"I got selected for university."
