The paper uses the Taiwan Youth Project to examine determinants of three entrance channels of the multichannel entrance program for high school and junior college, as well as correlations between the entrance channel and subsequent satisfaction with school and academic pressure. Results indicate that students' academic records during junior high school are correlated with admissions through screening and application channels. Although students' satisfaction with school is increased, their academic pressure is not alleviated after the program. Students entering schools via different channels differ in satisfaction with school and performance in school. Compared to the examination channel, students entering schools via screening and application channels are more satisfied with school and the former also perform better. Students entering schools via the entrance examination and application channels do not differ in academic performance but have different comparative strengths in non-academic performance.
