Alimentary, my dear Watson.
They want to increase the step1 pass rate which means reducing the percent of people who make it to semester 5. But they want to keep up the 5th semester enrollment. So they increase semester 1 enrollment. and medprep too.
With the larger sample size starting, more people fail out (thanks for your money). But despite the lower percent who succeed, enough of them do to fill up the 5th semester spots and these will have higher step1 pass rates.
