What are the major predictors of whether a new student will fit in and like the program?
The students brainstormed about this question and came up with a few predictors (most of which are predictors of success in graduate school): achievement motivation, tolerance of ambiguity, stress management, and cooperation with fellow students and faculty members. Also, interests in research and the I/O field in general are also a good indication of overall motivation and success in the program.
