The effect of socioeconoinic status on the college plans of 889 Canadian high school students is examined. Sex and measuired intelligence are used as control variables. Among high intelligence students of both sexes, the percentage planning to go to college is greater among those of high socioeconomic status than among those of low socioeconomic status. At all levels of measured intelligence and socioecononic status, boys are more likely to plan on college than girls. While the Canadian educational system is less egalitarian and more intellectually selective than that of the United States, the findings on the relationship of socioeconomic background to college plans are similar to those of studies dealing with American high school students
