While I certainly agree that STEM students with a background in humanities would be valuable, we still need to ask if this is a rational career path for someone with this kind of ability. Medicine is also a good career choice for academically talented students with strength in both humanities and science. To get these students over to STEM you'll need to offer career prospects, pay, stability, and prestige comparable to dermatology or radiology. In short, I can see why STEM employers would want these students, but the students have better options than STEM.
