I think that math checks out GGG but my guess is the 5% supply increase would turn into a rounding error from the retirement factor.



And even if it doesn't, a second point was that a BA isn't required here, so I don't know where you reduced the years- a BA is only requried to pump up your resume due to high demand of spots.
You could propose a system where people get right into medical school from high school, therefore eliminating the benefits of a BA on the resume when applying but:

a) this would cancel out allowance from those who grew older and mature and decided to apply (like the old age of 25......) - you would need an allowance for these people (which may be done already not sure) instead of allowing them to use their experience as a factor

b) you would have less mature people jumping in with less life experience-is it really great we are "fixing" the system by reducing the value of more schooling


I don't know how to quantify these concerns.
