OK, here are my answers:

your grade point average – an outlier towards the high end. Since GPA at PSU can only be 4.0, and GPA in college is usually a B or C average, I would want to my GPA to be an outlier at the high end of the GPA scale, separating myself from the mean.

b. age at which you graduate from college – this depends on when you start college, and where you attend college. Depending on when you start, how many classes you take and if you pass them on the first attempt can greatly vary the age you are when you graduate from college In CA it takes about 6 years to complete a Bachelor’s degree. Since I am 31, I am most likely already an outlier. This could be answered either way: an outlier towards the younger age, the mean, or an outlier towards an older age since I am graduating college. Since I am already an outlier, and I am ecstatic to graduate in the fall, I have to say that I prefer my value to be an outlier when I graduate.

c. monthly rent for your first apartment mean for the quality of apartment being rented. If the apartment is to cheap, it may be in an extremely unsafe area, or have underlying issues that aren’t visible upon viewing or move-in.
