Brief Survey for Friend's Math Statistics Project

Applying to College
1

<p>One of my friends has picked college admissions for her IB internal assessment (goodness knows why, crazy child) and one of her tests is to determine the correlation between GPA and admissions anxiety level. I told her I would try to get 20 results from CC for her, so could you please take a minute to fill out this survey? </p>

<p>GPA: (unweighted please)
Anxiety Level:
1 - No stress. Don't care.
2 - You've thought about it ... but you're pretty chilled out about the process.
3 - You have a normal level of anxiety, you aren't too focused on admission, but you're definitly trying to do well this year.
4 - You think about college admissions a lot, and you're on the brink of obsession.
5 - True obession / freaking out. You eat, sleep, breathe college admissions. You know the statistics like the back of your hand.</p>

<p>You do realize that your survey will be highly biased by sampling CC members?</p>

<p>It just isn't sound statistics.</p>

<p>You'd be better off with a more wide-ranging cross-section of students rather than the disproportionately high achieving students on CC.</p>

<p>bump. </p>

<p>I do realize that. This isn't my survey to begin with, and that's what she wanted. But, I do know she is also sampling a local, very under-achieving high school in our area ...</p>
