i hope this is a fresh SDN question:
on ERAS, couples have the option to check the "couples match" box. i was offered my first interview on 9/2- far earlier than i expected myself or significant other to hear from most programs. since it is a program that we both are highly considering, i went ahead and scheduled the interview, though i plan on canceling the interview if he does not receive an interview. because we are likely to receive our offers discordantly, should we mention again that we are entering the match as a couple and that he is applying to [specialty & program name] when we schedule our interviews? if so, do programs contact respective programs for the applicant's other half before the interview, or is this taken into account after the interview and the applicant is considered highly by a program?
