Almost half of UK domiciled non IB applicants applied from Comprehensive schools and Further/Higher Education establishments (24.2% and 23.1% separately respectively). Whilst the proportion of IB applicants from Unknown centres was low (5.9%), for non IB applicants this rose to 23.0%. This ties in with the relatively large proportion of mature applicants in the non IB population as mature applicants are less likely to have been attending school or college prior to applying to HE.
