No significant relationship found for GRE Quant or for GPA. • Students who attended a top tier BA school and those with a prior graduate degree are less likely to drop out. • Student faculty ratio is negatively related to dropout. • Programs with a tradition of publishing with a lone author have higher attrition rates. • Programs with a teaching requirement have higher drop out rates.

Late Attrition • Among dropouts, students with a foreign language requirement are more likely to dropout late. • Programs with a tradition of sole authorship tend to produce students who drop out later. • Differential impact of GRE Verbal between students enrolling with and without a prior graduate degree.
