Resumen
WE ANALYSED THE CHILEAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT SELECTION PROCESSES, COMPARING FIRST GENERATION AND CONTINUIST STUDENTS, USING THE CHILEAN HIGHER EDUCATION POPULATION DATABASES (2000?2015). FINDINGS CONFIRM THAT 60 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE SELECTION PROCESS ARE FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS. THE DATA REGISTERS AN INCREASING SELF-EXCLUSION PHENOMENON. OF THE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT TAKE THE SELECTION TEST AFTER ENROLLING, 80 PERCENT ARE FIRST GENERATION AND 18 ARE ENROLLED IN A SELECTIVE UNIVERSITY, COMPARED TO 44 IN THE CONTINUIST CONGLOMERATE. THESE DIFFERENCES MAY BE EXPLAINED BY CULTURAL CAPITAL IN THE BOURDIEU SENSE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DIVERSIFIED, MASSIFIED AND MARKETALISED HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM.
