This study aims to explore the determinants that affect the college admissions of graduates of vocational high schools and analyze their characteristics. The factors affecting whether or not to go to college were examined using the Korea Education and Employment Panel Ⅱ(KEEPⅡ) data. The analysis was conducted targeting 1,141 vocational high school graduates. Analysis variables based on prior research were high school life, career education and activity experience, employment guidance, private education, and after-school school, field experience and field practice, family life, parent's educational background, economic activity status, downtime life, career plan, and occupation. When Elastic Net was applied, 54 variables were chosen and found to be suitable. Consequently, the analysis results showed that in the case of the individual area, 14 variables were selected, including the size of the residential area, family economic condition and personality, worries about appearance/physical concerns, and downtime time activities. For the family area, a total of six variables were selected, including activities with the parents(guardians), the male guardian's final educational background, and monthly allowance. School and career areas include high school life satisfaction, career education, and activity experience, employment guidance, private tutoring, paid work experience, and desired education level were selected for 34 variables.
