A strategic, coordinated, and comprehensive marketing andadmissions program was developed, with an overall strategy focused on three primary pillars: A)educating prospective students about the School’s world-class research and commitment todiversity and engagement, B) a holistic admission review process, and C) reducing student costsas a burden for both the student and the faculty (Figure 1). This multi-pronged approach yieldedsignificant increases in the size and diversity of the PhD student body, without

that some time has elapsed between thesurveys, which may correspond to changes in some responses from two years (beginning) to oneyear (post). Despite the elapsed time, we observed an increase in the number of participantsindicating that they would apply for positions in 3 years. This shift may be a result of anincreased awareness of participant preparedness and the effort required for the applicationprocess. A delay in a faculty candidate’s job search may enable them to apply for jobs with abetter sense of confidence and preparedness. Overall, participants indicated that they wouldrecommend iFEAT to others, indicating a program rating of 4.3 ± 0.9 on a scale from 1-wouldnot recommend to 5-would recommend.Figure 2: Perceived (a) most and (b

Stress of relocation, separation from family and friends, new people, academic challenges, discrepancy between expectations and reality, loneliness, and lack of support all significantly relate to attrition” (Lee, D., Olson, E.
