Perrone, Philip; Dow, Edward

Roeper Review, v15 n3 p144-48 Feb-Mar 1993

This study of the college experiences of 1,724 academically talented (upper 2%) high school seniors in Wisconsin did not support suggestions of a "brain drain" out of Wisconsin. The study also found that 82% of males and 72% of females majored in math-science areas and 60% felt ill prepared in foreign languages. (DB)
