<p>You’ve gone through it, so I’ll defer to you in terms of my specific proposal.</p>
<p>But the bottom line is that adding a year – 52 weeks and $45,000 – in order to allow people to interview is simply not necessary. If push came to shove, I’d even be willing to force programs to rank without interviews. That would be horrible, but it would be better than setting aside an entire year to do so.</p>
<p>Of course, that’s not necessary. Third year is packed and busy, but could probably be streamlined enough to fit in, I don’t know, four weeks or maybe even six for interviews. My school devotes twenty-four weeks combined to medicine and surgery – you could easily shorten those to sixteen each and use the remaining eight to do interviews, for example.</p>
