After analyzing predictors for enrollment status and first-year GPA (4 semesters), the study's hypotheses were updated as follows:

• Lower GPAs and higher dropout rates were not presented in socially anxious students.
• Social skills did not directly result in lower dropout rates. Emotional control did seem related to higher dropout rates.
• College adjustment, or feelings of belonging on campus, did affect GPA for the first two years of college, but retention was not affected.
• Self-reports of social anxiety negatively correlated with self-reports of social expressiveness and social control (or as social anxiety reports rose, those two subscale reports dropped). Social sensitivity was higher when higher social anxiety was reported.
