Foot-notes:
All correlations calculated using both parametric and non-parametric tests. Pearson’s product moment correlation value (r) listed except where there were differences between the findings and in this case both Pearson’s r and Spearman’s rho reported. GPA was not normally distributed hence Spearman’s Rho is used throughout for this variable. Significant results highlighted in bold italics.
**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2 tailed).
*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2 tailed).
n/a ^Some correlations are not appropriate as students from the EU and Non-EU streams sat different selection tests-.
