Multiple means

Jill Meron
I have a database that lists students' MCAT scores, their gender and race
and the colleges they applied to.  I want to produce a table that gives me
the mean and SD for the MCAT scores by gender and race and by college.
Students can apply to multiple colleges.  I have SPSS 16.0 but am quite
new to this and would appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

Try
 
MEANS  MCAT scores by < varlist>
 
or if you want them nested
 
MEANS MCAT scores by < varlist> by < varlist> etc.

How do you represent multiple college applications in your file? If your
data are organized so that each case represents an application, there are a
number of procedures in SPSS that you can use. If not, it's probably best to
transform the file using VARSTOCASES (Data>Restructure File) first.
