And second, to identify the advantages and disadvantages of model data with statistical techniques chi-square test of independence and regression loglineal. Both in order to explain the unequal opportunities differentiated by gender in access to higher education. In general it was found that different types of capital are related to the opportunity for individuals to enter university studies. In terms of gender inequality, it is noted that although this is present, the same favors men than women, so care must be taken with the interpretation of results. At the conclusion of this study are open questions that suggest the search for elements arising from the possession of genetic three types of capital and influencing academic performance, such as exclusive spaces for the study, acquisition of library materials and access to consultation services. Similarly, it is considered important to this inquiry in education levels below where the possession of different types of capital is less evenly between the families of students.
