depends what kind of people you're trying to attract.
Again, this is a question specifically for postbacc/medical students and also people who have completed med school.
Most people don't break up beforehand. But plenty of people break up within the first year- only about half the relationships that went into school survived. I'm one of the lucky few, so far.I bet a lot of couples break up before med school starts, if they don't want to do the long-distance thing. Or at least...I hope that's what happens...I know that probably makes me a bad person but I really want to find a boyfriend in medical school
The real thing you'll have trouble with is that some of the desirable guys in school tend to play the field. Hence, drama. There's definitely good ones to be found though. And even if you don't find one in MS1 and MS2, there's always MS3 and beyond

And you can always poach first years. That seems to be a popular hobby for MS2s at many schools.
There a lot of really bad breakups/drama? Like students trying to get the other student kicked outta school bad?
Nah, no one brings it into school. But there's some student-to-student drama. People are good about compartmentalizing and barriers, but YMMV.
Yep, I would say only about half of people in relationships at the start of medical school were still in those relationships by January.
My opinion (and experience) is that it's easy to enter school thinking "we can make it work out!" and than realize that it will take a lot of effort. For some it's worth the effort, for others, not. So I think it depends on the nature of your relationship going in to medical school.
They all did fine. No one was broken by a breakup.
Yep. You have enough to worry about and keep you busy.
Yeah, depends on your situation. For me, my relationship was becoming long-distance at the same time I was starting school, so it was a bit of a double-whammy. I figured it didn't hurt to try and see if we could work it out. As I said above, you have enough to keep you busy during school that a breakup shouldn't mess with your work... but that depends on you.
When you see the same people day in and day out, you tend to get to know them. Relationship status is one thing that you'll usually eventually find out. Do you have a Facebook? Your classmates will see pictures. Do you ever go out of town to see your partner? People will ask what you're doing over the weekend/break, etc.
okay makes sense . My SO lives out of country and I dont ever post my relationship on facebook and other social media. But yeah if people ask I dont hide. I kinda get what you are saying.
Omg I didn't know Derek died, I'm only on season 5.
You'll be fine. When I was in high school, I was friends with some of the most awkward people you'll ever meet. And you know what? Ever single one of them ended up married. Not just dating right now, but straight up happily married with kids. At the end of the day, the vast majority of people end up married or in a relationship, save for those that really don't want anything serious for whatever reason. Out of my new group of friends, we all started off single in college and now, ten years later, guess what, everyone's married, getting married, or in a serious "we're not getting married because we don't believe in it" sort of relationship. Everyone.
Of course, there'll inevitably be the first round of divorces and such, but nowadays that's just life I guess.
.. *But i will behave*Enough about relationships. Mutual *STRESS RELIEVING* relationships with hot Type A medical school girls sounds like heaven
So your basically saying these people got married, just to get married because of circumstances(proximity)? But I think it will be this way...I mean we'll most likely be in med school together meaning we'll see each A LOT, we'll have medicine in common(another plus), and I mean you never know you might be from the same state, have the same values, like the same football team...whatever. But I really don't want to date anyone that's going to be a doctor...but I never know.
The consenting kind?
