No universities in the UK look at these things, the only thing they look at is if you've been part of programs that look at socioeconomic factors (e.g. if you're the first in your family to go to university, parents salary, you live in an area where people don't go through further education, etc.). I've always found the US admission considerations crazy, like them caring about "legacy" (unthinkable in the UK) or them requiring you to write crazy essays (all I had to write was ONE relatively short personal statement which was mostly academic interest). I believe that instead of looking at race and sex, US universities should do the same as the UK and instead look at socioeconomic factors as a whole.
