Here's a hypothetical, an MD student and DO student would like to try doing the allopathic match as a couple, but the DO student is not sure they will be able to get an allopathic match. If it just so happens that the DO student didn't match anywhere (and wouldn't have a single either) then is the other party sunk as well, so neither matches? Or if one party doesn't match period, would it just be like a single match?
I understand in general how the couples match works, and also understand in this situation it might be better to do two single matches and try to end up in the same place, but that also carries risk if you match in different places, but could have matched in the same place . . . trying to match together makes things so complicated.
I'm certainly not trying to start any MD/DO fights here, I could just imagine being in this situation in a few years and was curious if anyone had any info.
