Adding to my earlier post, if anyone is interested in the full study instead of the abstract, a PDF is at [The Leaky Pipeline: Factors Associated With Early Decline in… : Academic Medicine](<a href=“http://pdfs.journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/2008/05000/The_Leaky_Pipeline__Factors_Associated_With_Early.18.pdf?token=method|ExpireAbsolute;source|Journals;ttl|1373853551247;payload|mY8D3u1TCCsNvP5E421JYPPlNl9ZUXrQDsjmMHeXqBgfxP56d5BAis+WhfSrPR1S6lcHrAT5WTvTkrI7Jc1zUq2UlEn8N1x7qr2heZXbSZE2/LnQkUnbAwLtuHlqxiruZhFw***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;hash|/0tCKZ5xGez14kRtK1IF2g==]The”>The Leaky Pipeline: Factors Associated With Early Decline in... : Academic Medicine) .

It mentions an average of 367 students stated an interest in pre-med on the Stanford freshman survey during 2002-2004. Some of the results were surprising to me, such as the extremely different reasons for loss of interest between male and female students (perhaps due to small a sample size), and how 100% of the participants who mentioned a loss of interest due to courses cited chemistry as one of the courses that caused the loss of interest. The participants who said courses increased their interest also cited chemistry.
