Figures on Scottish domiciled UCAS applicants by age, and relevant Scottish population from 1994 to 1998, are given in the table. For 1997 and 1998, the most up to date figures are based upon applications processed by UCAS by 16 May 1997 and 17 May 1998. Not all applications have arrived by this date, therefore 1997 and 1998 figures are undercounts and not directly comparable with previous years.
