Based on a national graduate survey and using father's occupation and education situation as the indicators of students' family social economic status (SES), this article analyzes the impacts of SES on students in the following aspects: the scores in the National College Entrance Examination; the level and types of higher education institutions they studied in; the employment after graduation, and the income when they got jobs. It was found that there were substantial disparities among different SES students in both the higher education opportunities and its outcomes in current China. This article also probed into the mechanism of how those impacts happened.
