Abstract	Vocational and Technical Education (VTE) at the secondary-school level has undergone transformation, especially in the last 25 to 30 years brought about by the implementation of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1984. Earlier, the VTE education focus was to prepare students for entry-level jobs that did not require a baccalaureate degree. Now, VTE programs include preparing students for both work and college. This change in mission also brought about changes in vocational-technical education admissions policies. We add to the existing literature in this area by ascertaining the relative importance of admission criteria in predicting student success. Specifically, the major research question is: To what extent do the admission criteria of the NJCVTS (New Jersey County Vocational Technical-School District) predict student achievement on state mandated tests of Language Arts (LA) and Mathematics (M)?
