Neurology for me and family medicine for her. Echo the insane $$$ spent on the interview trail. We structured our ROL so that we would be together no matter what, and we matched. We couldn't even imagine spending our first year of marriage apart, so we made sure all of our ROL pairs were in the same city. We were both very competitive in terms of stats, etc. Some of our eventual choices kind of surprised us - we wound up ranking Pittsburgh #1 over some bigger-name Ivy League places, and would have never predicted that going into interview season (Pittsburgh? Really? Who goes there?) Sometimes you just get a good feeling, and luckily we shared that feeling about UPMC. More details to come post-match.
UPMC is a fantastic medical school and in some regards considered higher/better than many of the ivy league schools... atleast that is my impression of them for surgery (did not apply to them b/c geography, but have heard great things)...
I wonder which ivyleague school would you consider worse than UPMC ?
haha, I know exactly who your fiancee is. I posted on her FB status this afternoon! Ask her about spilling water on someone at a rads pre-interview dinner...she'll know who you're referring toMy fiancee and I couples matched. Im at Harbor-UCLA for gen surg and she's at USC for rads, doing her Transitional Year at Harbor with me! can't be happier!

Congrats, RS! I'm so glad to hear everything went great for you both. We've come a long way since the Couples Match Support Group thread, huh?We matched in Neurology and Family Medicine at UPMC! Go Pittsburgh! We ranked it above Harvard and Yale, as far as ivy leagues go.

We had a married couple match into the same program for general surgery. Kind of heartbreaking case where one always wanted neurosurg and the other always wanted ortho but they both realized how hard it would be to successfully couples match into those fields and so they decided to just go for gen surg together.did anyone couple match into the same field, same program?

i applied in pediatrics, my boyfriend in internal medicine. we matched together at yale, which was our #2 rank, and we couldn't be happier!! the whole process was pretty nerve-wracking but it can be done, folks! send me a message if you have questions!
