A) outlier. Most colleges grade so that the mean is a C or B, so you want to be an outlier on the high side.
B) Yeah, kinda depends. I just heard that the mean in California is now 6 years to achieve a bachelor's. But is that 6 years from the end of high school? 6 years from when you start taking college courses? Either way, odds are that the average age of graduation is significantly higher than the traditional "standard" of 22, so outlier seems the best answer.
C) I'd say "mean for the apparent quality of apartment being rented". You don't want to over pay, but if it's too cheap, you start to wonder why, that perhaps things are too good to be true.
