In this work we search to test the hypothesis, present in the literature on affirmative policies in high education that there is a mismatch between the student that enters through quotas and an academic environment with high demand on performance. Data related to incoming students between 2013 and 2017 at Federal University of Sergipe were used, with information on academic achievement until May 2018, student and curse profile. Statistic and econometric methods were employed in the analysis and the estimations points that, in general, the quotas students overcome the wide competition ones. However, this advantage prevails only in the lower quantiles of the score distribution until the median. From the third quartile on, there is no systematic evidence of differences between the groups.
Key-words: affirmative policies; quotas; high education; performance differentials.
