What qualifications do you consider? Are some criteria weighted more than others?

We take a whole person approach to selecting students. GRE scores are a factor, but only one in a set of factors we look at when making our selection decisions. GPA particularly within the subject, and in the last 2 years of school is examined. We also take a close look at letters of recommendation for indicators of "fit" with our work values and organizational culture. Written statements also are useful tools when selecting students. While test scores are a valid predictor, they are not the only one we use.

Should I take any specific courses to prepare me for grad school?

An Intro to I/O course would be helpful. If your school doesn't offer this, a human resource or organizational behavior class might be appropriate.
