The socio-economic status of those IB applicants domiciled in the UK appears to have a different distribution compared to those non IB applicants domiciled in the UK.
This can be seen more clearly in Chart 7.1. Compared to non IB applicants, IB applicants were over represented in socio economic classes 1 and 2 and under represented in classes 3 to 7.

From Chart 7.2 it can be seen that whilst socio-economic classes 1 and 2 were over represented in the IB population receiving offers relative to the non IB population, the over representation is not as pronounced as in the case of applicants (Chart 7.1).
