Tính mean ± SD cho các cột C, W-BH
Các cột còn lại Đếm số lượng các lựa chọn ở từng cột, tỉ lệ %. Chẳng hạn cột Gender bao nhiêu male/female. Hometown vẽ biểu đồ Pie: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh còn lại là Others xong có chú thích others là những đâu. Các cột Highschool attended, Current GPA, Family income, Financial Support cũng  thống kê xong vẽ biểu đồ cột hoặc Pie để thể hiện.
Ngoài General Surgey ra, các Surgical subspecialties bao gồm: Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, Head and Neck Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Oncologic Surgery, Transplant Surgery, Urology. Thống kê bao nhiêu người lựa chọn General Surgery (GS) as PRIMARY choce, bao nhiêu người lựa chọn Surgical subspecialties (SS) là primary choice? Bao nhiêu người lựa chọn GS và SS ở Secondary và Tertiary choice? Chú ý nếu cùng 1 người đã chọn GS và SS ở Primary Choice rồi thì khi lặp lại lựa chọn ở Secondary hoặc Tertiary thì ko tính nữa để tránh overlapping.		Em có làm thêm biểu đồ venn diagram để trực quan hóa phần overlapping giữa Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Choices. Phần biểu đồ mô tả em mô tả cả 2 phần: Không tính đến overlapping và có tính tới overlapping
Bao nhiêu người lựa chọn GS hoặc SS ở cả 3 ô Primary, Secondary và Tertiary của họ. Bao nhiêu người lựa chọn ở 2 ô.
Từ M tới V là lựa chọn hướng đi nghề nghiệp sau khi tốt nghiệp. 1 là có chọn, 0 hoặc bỏ trống là không chọn. Người lựa chọn có thể chọn nhiều mục một lúc. Lập bảng thống kê chung cho từ M tới V.

Phần [11] em có visual tỷ lệ từng điểm số sinh viên lựa chọn cho từng biến, các biến càng có tỷ lệ (%) lớn, sẽ càng đậm hơn (Tương tự heat map) Phần thống kê em làm tương tự
Nhóm Chọn GS hoặc SS là PRIMARY choice, những yếu tố từ 6-10 ở trên có khác với nhóm chọn các chuyên ngành khác là Primary Choice hay không? Ví dụ những người chọn GS và SS là Primary choice, Most common factors influence choice of specialty ở nhóm này là gì? Có khác gì nhóm còn lại không. Tương tự với các yếu tố khác như lựa chọn Contribution of role model or mentor và Stereotypes có khác không? Có sự khác biệt về Gender, Hometown, GPA, Financial support giữa nhóm có chọn GS hoặc SS là Primary choice với nhóm không chọn hay không? Trong nhóm 71 người chọn GS và SS (bảng 1). Có mối liên quan gì giữa Gender (male – female) vs các lựa chọn mục 6-10 hay không?		Phần nay dường như mình đều xét trên nhóm GS hoặc SS là PRIMARY choice (47) và other (84). Note: Em xin ý kiến anh Quang ạ.
Có sự khác biệt về Gender, Hometown, GPA, Financial supprt giữa 71 người ở file excel 1 (chọn GS & SS là một trong 3 lựa chọn nghề nghiệp) với nhóm còn lại ở excel 2 (131 – 71 =60 người) hay không?
