Abstract
There exists, at a worldwide level, an increase in access to higher education by new social
sectors; however, these new students show inferior academic performance, associated to their
problem, rather demanding attention to the student’s educational process. This study’s
purpose was to determine if there exist different academic trajectories between regular and
combination of both. This was addressed by modeling the half-year term grade average and
the half-year term approval rate through mixed linear models over the total of students that
entered the Universidad de Chile’s Medicine Faculty between the years of 2013 and 2018.
The results show a gap in the performance according to the admission pathway, evidencing
its effect on academic trajectory. This is, however, independent from the remaining used
variables, such as sex, score at the national admission test and student’s high school ranking.
Considering the utilized academic and demographic variables, the results agree with
literature, except at the prediction granted by the students’ high school performances. Finally,
we suggest that the performance gap between different entrance pathways might be explained
by the higher vulnerability of those students that are admitted via equity prioritized pathways.

Introduction
Worldwide increase on access of new social sectors to higher education has meant an
improvement on academic and work possibilities of students who, until a few decades ago,
could not qualify for this educational level (Ferreyra et al. 2017; OECD 2018). However, the
unequal socio-economic conditions under which these students enter higher education are
still strongly associated with lower academic performance (Ferreyra et al. 2017; OECD 2018;
Cerdeira et al. 2018), becoming possible barriers to success at this stage, resulting, in some
cases, in dropout and abandonment of the tertiary system (Proyecto ALFA GUIA 2013).
progressively encompassing the different regions of the world (Rama 2009). Particularly in
Latin America, the increase has been explosive in recent decades, favoring the medium and
low income sectors. Thus, the representation in higher education of the poorest 50% of the
population, in this region, increased from 16% to 24% between the years 2000 and 2012
(Ferreyra et al. 2017). The foregoing accounts for a process of de-elitization of this
socioeconomic status may present lower performance and levels of approval. For the year
2018, a comparative study of the countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD) shows that first-generation students entering the tertiary
level are still underrepresented among graduates of higher education programs, reaching only
44% of graduation among the different post-secondary programs compared to 61% of the
general population of graduation age that actually does (OECD 2018). This shows that

their socioeconomic condition of origin (Smeding et al. 2013; Brunner and Ganga-Contreras
2017).
educational, social, cultural and symbolic aspects (Casillas et al. 2007; Stephens et al. 2014;
Jury et al. 2015) that affect both entry and performance in higher education. This is the
that is, a risk condition in which individuals can be found due to personal, family and
structural conditions (McLeod and Kessler 1990; Alwang et al. 2001; Filgueira 2001; Pizarro
2001). In this way, certain socially vulnerable students can be led to educational failure
because their background exposes them to difficulties and disadvantages in their academic
performance.
This country presents an important school segregation (Bellei 2013) as consequence of a high
income difference and a poor wealth distribution (OCDE 2017). Although by 2018 the
proportion of students’ admission to higher education continues the upward trend, there is
still an entrance gap between students in the first income quintiles and those in the last
quintile (Bellei and Pérez 2009; Ministerio de Desarrollo Social 2018). On the other hand,
following the global trend, vulnerable youth who manage to overcome the difficulties of
entering higher education in Chile, face an academic performance gap that places them at a
disadvantage compared to students of higher social status (Canales and De los Ríos 2009;
4
Particularly faced with the entrance gap, several Chilean universities have created
alternative entrance policies that take into account the disadvantaged conditions of
preparation that students of lower social status may carry turn, which turn into worse results
at the University Selection Test (Prueba de Selección Universitaria, PSU) (Canales and De
los Ríos 2009; Orellana et al. 2015). These policies propose that if underprivileged students
are helped to overcome this entry barrier and their academic merit at the preceding schooling
level was outstanding, they may have a good university performance (OCDE 2017). This
relation between exceptional previous academic merit and the university performance is
shown by several studies (Ferrari and Parker 1992; Wolfe and Johnson 1995; DeBerard et al.
2004; Barahona and Aliaga 2013; Hein and Smerdor 2013; Orellana et al. 2015).
In the Universidad de Chile, there are alternative entrance pathways that meet the
aforementioned purpose. Among them, the Educational Equity Priority Access System
(Sistema de Ingreso Prioritario de Equidad Educativa, SIPEE) enables a way of access for
those students graduated from public schools who, although deserving, do not achieve the
required score by the conventional entry pathway to higher education in the country (Prueba
Some of the requirements for SIPEE admission, as belong to the lower income
population or study in vulnerable public schools (Universidad de Chile), are directly related
However, the students who enter via SIPEE have a meritorious academic level in relation to
their context (since they obtain good results during high school) along with obtaining scores
on the admission test that allow them to apply to highly selective institutions.
5
In sum, the antagonistic effects of previous academic merit and social vulnerability
characteristics constitutes the distinctive profile of a part of the new group of students who
have entered higher education for the first time in the last decades. Therefore, establishing
which of the two factors is a more important predictor of academic performance for this
group of students, it is necessary to assess the effect and potential of higher education entry
policies. In this sense, the study of the academic trajectory of the students who enter through
SIPEE, in comparison with those who do it via PSU, constitutes a valuable opportunity to
evaluate the problem of equitable access and successful graduation of tertiary education.
Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the possible different trajectories
among students who entered the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad de Chile (FMUCH)
between 2013 and 2018 through regular pathways (admission via PSU) and those who access
based on vulnerability criteria (admission via SIPEE). Along with this, we sought to establish
which are the factors that would explain this possible disbalance in performance.
comes through the study of academic trajectories. This approach constitutes a diagnostic tool
for institutions, providing inputs to promote the overall development of the student, thereby
improving their university experience and the chances of success at the study program
(Anderton et al. 2016; García and Barrón 2011; Lara-Barrón and Valadez-Díaz 2011;

The approach to trajectories is associated with the measurement of phenomena such
among others (García and Barrón 2011; Lara-Barrón and Valadez-Díaz 2011). In the same
line, three dimensions are identified to understand academic trajectories: one associated to
time, another to school efficiency and one to performance (García and Barrón 2011; Proyecto
the knowledge that the educational system recognizes students have, expressed in a grade
(García and Barrón 2011). Therefore, it is relevant to study performance since it constitutes
an indicator of the quality of an institution and the scope of its educational objectives
(Rodríguez et al. 2004). Thus, by studying the different factors that condition students’
performance, institutions gather useful data that guides towards educational efficiency
For the purposes of this work, academic performance trajectories will be studied as
a way to quantify the students’ academic behavior throughout the school cycles, specified in
cohorts (García and Barrón 2011; Proyecto ALFA GUIA 2013). The indicators to address
performance are varied, many studies suggest measuring the phenomenon through grade
average and the approval of subjects taken by the student (García de Fanelli 2014; Gutiérrez-
García et al. 2011; Rodríguez et al. 2004). Particularly, grades as indicators of academic
performance, turn out to have more resolution character than the approval of credits or

Socioeconomic factors include social status, family income, educational and parental
occupational level and the source of educational funding. In relation to academic aspects
several factors are used as indicators, such as performance in secondary education, score
obtained in the admission test, type of establishment, educational expectations, among others.
Finally, some of the most studied demographic indicators are sex, age, nationality and race
or ethnicity.
Methodology
Study population
The present study’s data was obtained from the institutional records of the Faculty of
Medicine of the Universidad de Chile. It corresponds to the entry cohorts from 2013 to 2018
and covers the 8 undergraduate programs of the faculty. The data set includes all students
from the selected cohorts who have entered through the SIPEE or PSU pathways (‘SIPEE
students’ and ‘PSU students’); all academic subjects studied between 2013 and 2018 that
correspond to the respective degree programs were included, excluding courses held in
8
extraordinary periods (summer) and those eliminated by the student, which do not have
qualification.
The total number of students who entered undergraduate programs in the faculty
between 2013 and 2018 is 3,910, of which 3,588 were admitted through PSU and 322 through
Statistical analysis
performance of the students and was measured through the semester average of grades and
the semester approval rate. These variables were described by adjusting mixed linear models,
The biannual grade point average (GPA) was modeled by a mixed beta regression.
This model adjusts a beta distribution, with support in the (0,1) interval, as the conditional
distribution of the response variable. Since the scale of grades of the Chilean educational
system is defined in the interval [1,7], a transformation was applied to scale the variable to
the interval (0,1) (Smithson and Verkuilen 2006). In this model, the beta distribution is
parameterized by μ; the expectation of the variable, and φ; the precision parameter. In this
parameterization, the variance of the variable, Var[y], is related to the parameters of the
That is, when φ is greater, given the value of μ, the variance of the variable decreases.
This allows heteroskedasticity and asymmetry modeling in GPA. In the beta regression,
unlike usual regression models, a linear sub-model is adjusted for μ and another one for φ.
9
In the mean sub-model a logit function is used to link the definition interval of the μ
parameter, (0, 1), with the linear predictor defined in ℝ. Therefore, variable's effect is
binomial regression's odds ratio. So, hereafter, μ/(1-μ) is referred as odds. While in the
precision sub-model a logaritmic link function was used. For both sub-models, the following
predictive variables were considered: student’s sex; score awarded by the Chilean integrated
admission system to the ranking of the student's grades in establishments and cohorts at
which he/she attended high school, ‘ranking score’ (DEMRE 2018); PSU tests’ score in
Medicine (Universidad de Chile 2018) score´s ponderation, ‘PSU score’; and if the student's
admission pathway was SIPEE (binary). Ranking score was preferred over the grades or the
score awarded to them in the admission system, since this kind of ranking offers a better
2018). Both ranking score and PSU score were centered and scaled according to their
standard deviations before adjusting the model. In addition, the student's permanence time in
the study program, measured in the number of semesters associated with each semi-term
GPA, was included as a discrete predictor. This way, a linear effect of the semester on GPA
is estimated. Interaction effects were also adjusted between both the entrance pathway and
semester, and the entrance pathway and the PSU score. Finally, in the sub-model of μ, a
random intercept and a random effect of the semi-term were added for each student to account
Regarding approval rate, mixed logistic regression models were adjusted. Fixed
predictors and random factors are the same as those considered in the sub-model for μ in the
10
beta regression. Additionally first-order interactions between semester, ranking score and
the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). In the case of the mixed beta regression all the
combinations that include the effects of the semester and sex were estimated. Conversely, in
the logistic regression, and thanks to the lower computational cost, all combinations of fixed
predictors that include the semester were adjusted. The selected model was the one with
highest BIC.
The models were estimated using R (R Core Team 2018) and the glmmTMB package
(Brooks et al. 2017). The utilized model selection algorithm can be found at the MuMIn
Results
Biannual GPA
Models were adjusted using the complete cases (i.e. with all the available predictors),
corresponding to 3247 and 274 students through PSU and SIPEE, respectively. The selected
semester average grade model presented a BIC weight of 0.787, followed by another one
with a BIC weight of 0.138. The odds ratios associated with the selected predictors are shown
in Table 1. The model showed that male students (34.0% of students) obtained a grade
average odds 0.84 times lower than female students. Meanwhile, semester average grade per
student (Fig 1) increases along the academic trajectory of the students, estimating an odds
increase of 1.049 times per biannual term, this increase being independent of the entrance
11
pathway. This last result contrasts with the more pronounced increase in the mean of the
SIPEE students’ semester average grade. This can be explained by the lower permanence of
SIPEE students indicated by the model, which implies the progressive loss of
underperforming students (Fig. 2). This difference decreases as PSU score increases. It
should be noted that the model predicts that average biannual grades will be matched among
the entrance pathways, but in a range of PSU scores above that observed in SIPEE students.

On the contrary, the effect of ranking score was discarded from the chosen model,
which suggests that academic merit in the student’s educational context has little influence
Approval rate
The selected logistic model obtained a BIC weight of 0.770, followed by a model
with a BIC weight of 0.123. The odds ratios estimated in the selected model are shown in
Table 2. The chosen model does not consider the effect of any of the interactions, but the
effect of the 5 simple predictors. An independent effect of the entrance pathway was
estimated, with a semester approval odds 0.11 times lower for SIPEE students (Fig. 3),
according to the previous result in the biannual grade average. Similarly, the direction of the
effects of the semester, PSU score and sex are the same as in the biannual average of grades
with odds ratios of 1.81, 4.78, and 0.38, respectively. On the contrary, the ranking score has
an estimated odds ratio of 0.92. In the case of approval rate, the gap between SIPEE students
and PSU students is wide until the 6th semester, at a disadvantage of the former; then the

Discussion
The purpose of this study was to determine if there are different academic trajectories,
measured on performance, between SIPEE and PSU entry pathway, identifying whether this
combination of both. This was addressed by modeling both biannual grade average and
approval rate. The main results show a gap in the academic trajectory according to entrance
14
pathway, reflected through its effect on performance. This is independent from the other
considered variables, such as sex, PSU score and ranking score. In conclusion, it is suggested
that this gap’s explanation could be found in the greater vulnerability of students who enter
via SIPEE.
The results showed that PSU score has a direct influence in the students’ performance.
In other words, a lower score on the admission test is associated with a lower performance
during higher education. This is considered for both admission paths and for the two variables
considered in the performance (approval rate and half-year term grade average). The
relationship between results in the admission tests and the subsequent performance is
consistent with international studies that state that admission’s score correlates positively
with first years’ GPA (Ferrari and Parker 1992; McKenzie and Schweitzer 2001; Barahona
On the other hand, the results’ difference in PSU test according to different
socioeconomical groups has been studied in other researches for the Chilean case. These have
shown that PSU scores depend on the socioeconomic level of the establishment previously
attended by the students, reflecting the socioeconomic inequality that underlies the Chilean
educational system (Contreras et al. 2007; Canales and De los Ríos 2009; Koljatic and Silva
2010; Orellana et al. 2015; Faúndez et al. 2017). This can be understood as a higher
probability for people of lower socioeconomic status and higher vulnerability to have a worse
It is interesting to note that the model describes a smaller difference in grades between
the studied entry pathways when students’ PSU scores increase, suggesting a nonlinear effect

of this predictor. This could be due to a lower association between the PSU score and, either
The results of the academic variable Ranking score show its low and negative effect
on the approval rate and no effect on biannual grade average. The model discards the
influence of ranking on students' grade average, i.e. no changes are expected in the average
of biannual grades given an increase in ranking score. This contrasts with studies that showed
a positive relation between high school’s academic merit and academic outcomes in higher
education (Ferrari and Parker 1992; Wolfe and Johnson 1995; Meneses et al. 2005; Meneses
and Toro 2012; Barahona and Aliaga 2013; Orellana et al. 2015).
Regarding the above, it must be considered that the Universidad de Chile is a highly
selective institution, particularly its Faculty of Medicine (Brunner and Uribe 2007), which
implies high entry scores to its careers, including ranking score. Because of this, its low
variability would not allows to clearly estimate the effect of this variable on performance in
the model. Thus, it is relevant that in future research the effects of ranking on academic
trajectory get more deeply investigated. Studying this relationship in the context of less

al. 2012) by means of an adequate management policy of tangible and intangible assets
available to them (Moser 1998). These resources would have to do mainly with their previous
academic merit, but also with their resilience, commitment to graduation and relevant
friendly and family ties (Canales and De los Ríos 2009; Villalta M. 2010).
For this, the study of student’s trajectories according to their admission path,
constitutes a diagnostic tool that can contribute to the construction and strengthening of
higher education entrance and accompaniment policy oriented towards permanence and
graduation of their vulnerable students, and in this way advancing to a greater educational
equity. The above constitute an invitation not only to replicate this study design, but also to
incorporate the measurement of vulnerability not only for special admission pathways but for
all students, thereby obtaining more accurate estimation of the vulnerability effect on their
academic trajectory.
