Meeting with Program Directors
I believe that admissions would benefit greatly from meeting with program directors to establish a checklist of commonalities for prospective students. But they should also review these regularly, and remember that, as with any types of list, both admissions and faculty should not be a slave to this checklist. I completely agree that while the checklist is helpful, it is not, by itself, a predictor for success.

Your post seems to indicate that only students matching the checklist are recruited. That is not the case is it? The checklist could be used to identify strategies to help retain the students based on items on the checklist.
