I'm a bit of a radical on this, but we should basically remove traditional college from the whole medical school pipeline. When I think of my friends that went to med school, they all took the MCAT after two years of school. That seems like a great indication that the last two years aren't important[1]. Two years of fundamental sciences, and then right into med school.
Also, we have some many people that want to be doctors. We should let them all start medical school, and let them get weeded out from there.
[1] the caveat here is research. But MD/PhD fits far better into the traditional college pipeline.
