In this study, we aimed to explore the Academic Implication, identify elements that make up the Behavioral, Affective and Cognitive Dimensions and determine the prevalent dimension on interviews taken freshmen of the School of Psychology at the National University of Cordoba. We work with secondary data provided by Psychological Interview department. The sample consisted of 50 interviews randomly selected from 500. It was assessed at each interview presence or absence of indicators of each dimension. These data were incorporated into an ad-hoc built grid. We determine prevalent dimension by calculating the most frequent observation. A high percentage of positive responses in the subcategory "Study Skills" and "Expectation on the subject", which defines the cognitive dimension as prevalent were obtained. We consider necessary to implement strategies that strengthen the cognitive dimension, promote the development of other dimensions, encouraging participation, generating greater interest and understanding of study material.
