Abstract: Introduction: The academic preparedness of incoming students at the Faculty of Business Administration, University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras Campus, has significantly declined, creating challenges in improving fundamental skills and academic outcomes.

Results: Findings reveal that dependency status and prior education quality, whether from public or private schools, notably impact academic success. The study also highlights a consistent decline in academic performance over the past six years. Conclusions: The need for targeted interventions to address social disparities and improve student success is emphasized.
