Abstract: Students who excelled in high school enter college with the expectation that, despite the increase in competition, they will continue to achieve academically at the college level. Some high-ability students never lose momentum. They view college as the next stop on the road to ongoing success and continue to achieve at superior levels. Other high-ability students find the pressure to succeed at the college level to be overwhelming. In this article I describe some of the characteristics of high ability students and give particular attention to high ability students who are pursing business degrees. Advising strategies for working with this population are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
