They were contacted five years after their entry. The 48 students answered a questionnaire administered personally. The results showed that in students with achievement trajectories prevail since the entrance university goals associated with learning. In contrast, in those students who after five years of university studies had not yet passed 50 % of the career, goals such as save self-esteem and avoiding failure prevailed, associated with the adoption of unfavorable behaviors for learning.
