Abstract
This paper investigates the relative importance of a wide range of variables that may impact on student performance in different Colleges in the University. Using multi-year data set covering 14528 students, we have found that, higher level of Mathematics and English (e. g. extension one and extension two) subjects are significantly positively correlated with the University Admission Index (UAI) in HSC. In contrast General Mathematics and Standard English are significantly negatively affecting the UAI. Using OLS and quantile regression we found that Mathematics (former two unit mathematics) plays a positive and significant role in achieving higher Grade Point Average (GPA) in the Arts, Business and Health Science subjects in the University.
