AAMC gave me a good idea for a game show "CHOOSE YOUR MEDICAL SCHOOL!"
Three actors (applicants) appear on the stage to meet 3 medical school adcom reps (contestants) from equal tiers/ranking but with varying profiles/missions/values/opportunities.
Actors are motivated to maximize acceptances but are rewarded for acceptance at their top choice (randomized, hidden, actors get 1-2 extra pieces of information on their top choice school)
The adcoms get rewarded ($$$) if they maximize their yield by guessing who is and who is not coming to their school.
Round 1:
We watch adcoms interview the applicants individually, separate from everyone else, and we get to watch the actors woo the adcoms. It is entertaining because we see actors present themselves schizophrenically with stories to fit the school's profile. Contestants aim to find which actor seemed most knowledgeable (most likely to be top choice applicant)
After all the interviews, adcoms assign A or WL to applicants in whatever manner they think to maximize their yield.
Round 2:
Applicants standing behind their podium will now be able to choose to press a button to privately notify schools of their "Plan to Enroll."
Schools will see if an applicant is "PTE" at their school (only if they accepted him/her correctly in round 1)
They can also see if an accepted applicant chose to "PTE" for another school, but they will not know which one.
They will also see if an applicant has no acceptances because of no "PTE" designated.
Actors may also privately send one letter of interest (Love letter) to contestants in this time if they were not accepted to their top choice but to one school they think are most likely to accept him (they are motivated to maximize acceptances)
Adcoms / contestants will now finalize their A/WL list based on the CYMS tool and their trust levels with the applicant.
They may find themselves in a pickle, accepting an applicant that PTE to another school and receiving LoI's from their WL applicants.
They may want to accept the no-acceptance applicant to maximize their yield but other schools may do the same and they don't know his top choice.
Smart contestants will under-accept in Round 1 waiting for further imperfect information from the CYMS tool but they will get less information in round 2 (This person may have PTE to your school if you accepted him) and this may change the motivation of applicants using the CYMS/LoI system to maximize their own yield.
Final reveal
Applicants "CTE" to the highest assigned rank school they were accepted to.
Acceptance/Matriculation +$20k, Acceptance/Non-Matriculation -$20k, WL/Acceptance/Matriculation +$15k, WL/Acceptance/Non-matriculation -$15k
-----
Yes, this is a tumultuous game of treachery, trickery, and manipulation but doesn't even come close to the zany process that is real life medical school admissions.
Better luck next time Adcoms as we "Choose Your Medical School!!!!!"
