I was referring to drop out rate in med school for each year. I think it’s highest in the first year and then drops down, right?

You know, I have to be honest – the academic drop-out rate in medical school is pretty low – almost zero. There are personal reasons (decide you don’t want to do medicine), and I’m sure the academic rigor contributes to that, but even that’s basically zero anyway. Forced expulsion from medical school is disciplinary, not academic. (And even that’s basically zero, anyway.)
