Gifted, Self-Destructive Recovering Students Warrant Special Consideration.

Bratter, Thomas Edward; And Others

Journal of College Admission, n149 p23-29 Fall 1995

Posits that gifted, underachieving, recovering students can help deter others from self-destructive acts, and, therefore, warrant special consideration by admissions offices. Recovering students are often motivated to seek understanding and truth and possess a unique passion for learning. They can be an important asset to the campus community. (JBJ)
