Significant relationships were identified between dietetic student characteristics, several predictors of success, and success variables. Grades earned during the junior and senior college years were positively correlated, and the number of examinations on which the student failed to score 80% were negatively correlated with academic success in the preprofessional phase of the CUP. No relationship between professional behavior scores and any of the predictors was identified. Success in the registration examination for dietitians was positively correlated with both course grades and ACT scores; however, registration examination scores were not correlated with employers' assessments of the graduates' competence. Number of salary increases was significantly, positively related to extracurricular college activities, work experience, mathematics ACT scores, and preprofessional science grades. ACT scores, preprofessional science grades, and work experience prior to admission to the professional phase of the CUP were positively related to obtaining advanced degrees. Advanced degrees were also significantly, positively correlated with continuing education and dietetic association activities. The amount of professional and community involvement was best predicted from college extracurricular activities. Of all the predictors studied, preprofessional science grades and overall GPA were significantly, positively correlated with more success measures than any other predictors.
研究发现，营养学专业学生的特征、几个成功预测因素与成功变量之间存在显著关系。大学三、四年级的成绩呈正相关，而学生未达到80分的考试次数与CUP专业前阶段的学业成功呈负相关。未发现专业行为得分与任何预测因素之间存在关系。营养师注册考试的成功与课程成绩和ACT分数均呈正相关；然而，注册考试分数与雇主对毕业生能力的评估无关。薪资增长次数与大学课外活动、工作经验、数学ACT分数和专业前科学成绩显著正相关。进入CUP专业阶段之前的ACT分数、专业前科学成绩和工作经验与获得高级学位呈正相关。高级学位也与继续教育和饮食协会活动显著正相关。专业和社区参与程度最好通过大学课外活动来预测。在所有研究的预测因素中，专业前科学成绩和总体GPA与更多成功指标显著正相关，超过其他任何预测因素。
