The Department of Accountancy of CBAA & CLSU offers the course BS in Accountancy with an admission policy that is based on the Senior High School grades, CLSU Admission Test results and Qualifying Examination results. The main objective of this research is to determine the relationship of the admission factors for BSAc program of CBAA-CLSU with the college performance which is measured by their grades in first year accounting related subjects. Based on the Pearsons Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Test, all the admission factors have a significant relationship with the college performance of the first batch of BSAc students under the new curriculum. Then again, the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents which include their age, gender, and current residence have been identified to have an insignificant effect on the performance of the students during their freshmen year. However, their choice of priority course somewhat affects their performance during the Second Semester. Those who chose Accountancy as their priority course performed well as compared to those who are not but the difference was not that significant.
