Numerous factors influence students who enter CM programs,however, insufficient information exists to explain the characteristics of these students.Additionally, research has shown that many factors determine career choice. Family, peers,education, geographical location, occupational information, demand for jobs, and the differencein age, gender, and personal characteristics all influence career choice (Borg, 1996; Healy,O’Shea, & Crook, 1985; Larson, Butler, Wilson, Nilufer, & Allgood, 1994; Otto & Call, 1985;Splete & Freeman-George, 1985).

The URAs then metwith the lead graduate researcher on the project to discuss the papers and to start developing theirunderstanding of the theoretical framing of the project. We then asked the URAs to go back tothe reflection prompts and reflect on them again based on what they had read and the discussionof those articles.
