<p>Dear Ana Bagnoli :<br><br></p>
<p>Thank you for your submission to <em>Revista Interamerican de Psicologia</em>(RIP). We have reached a decision regarding your submission titled "<strong>Perception of college dropout factors for Paraguayan students</strong>".&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>I received evaluations from experts and their recommendations were mixed. One reviewer recommended rejecting the submission and another recommended another major revision. Although the reviewers thought that the topic of your study is potentially important and contained several strengths, they also thought that the manuscript still contained significant limitations. I conducted an independent review of the revised manuscript to carefully weigh the merits of the paper and its limitations. Given this backdrop, I regret to inform you that the paper cannot be published in RIP.<br><br>I agreed with the reviewer&nbsp;that &nbsp;there are problems with organization and focus, defining temrs and cmoparison to oother measures. The reviewers have provided well-considered comments and suggestions and they are included below. I realize that a great deal of effort was put into completing this manuscript and this is a difficult decision to receive. However, please know that I do believe this is an important topic that should be further pursued. I would very much welcome submissions based on your future work.<br><br>I want to thank you for submitting your manuscript to RIP. Again, I do hope that you will consider the journal as an outlet for your work in the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Melissa L. Morgan, Ph.D.</p>
