Abstract: Since implementation of the admission national system to public higher education of the Ecuador in 2011, no studies have evaluated its efficiency. The objective of this study is to estimate factors associated with the acceptance of the university career quota. We consider personal, contextual and experiential characteristics contemplated in the Cognitive Social Theory of Professional Development proposed by Robert Lent. The study is carried out on students residing in the Province of Pichincha who have passed the second period 2013 entrance exam. A logistic multiple regression model was applied to estimate the probability of accepting the quota allocated. The results show that acceptance of the quota depends on race, the category of the university, the priority of selection of the race and the province in which the university is located. Lent's theory was partially demonstrated. However, the study should be expanded to the total population of applicants to guide policies to ensure quota allocation efficiency
