Getting married before beginning med school?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
sure. why not??????

What are you waiting for?
 
What am I waiting for? Well, I want to marry a girl who's also doc. I guess, I'm waiting for her. Are there any single premed girl docs here?

man, you're smooth 🙄
 
Ditto, Prowler, Ditto.
 
Why not, I am! I'm applying for admit in 2006, but I'm getting married on August 5th (10 days! ahhhh!). I have no idea what being a married, traditional student will do to my app, if anything, but that shouldn't be a point of concern anyways, should it? Planning a wedding while taking a full course load, studying for the MCAT, applying to medschool, and working/volunteering.

Luckily, both of us aren't going into medicine. If you are, have fun!
 
hello, there.... 😎

I don't know about marriage and all that....yet. However, I'm curious just how desirous women med students are to men.
We're taking it up in the Lounge 😉

I'd advise against it if you dont have someone in particular in mind. Try dating. Or, falling asleep crying next to your MSAR book, like me.



There are a LOT of married people on this board!
 
Good point caveman. I tried dating, but had a hard time getting along with non-med people. Girls in bars and stuff consider auto mechanics and rock guitarists more "cool". You know, I get along with premed girls...but most of them are taken. I was just too busy doing a BS degree...and never thought of dating and stuff.

I think they should add a "Singles only" section to studentdoctor.net forums. What do you say?

i highly suggest getting married b/f med school. i got married in graduate school, and can't imagine having made it through grad school w/o my husband's support. half of this phd is his. and i expect that half of my (future, hopefully) md will be rightly his as well. of course, the logistics of planning a wedding during med school would be horrific (if you do it - i suggest eloping 🙂 ). i can't even imagine dating in med school (but it has been a long time for me, i can hardly remember dating 🙂 at all).

haha, male, pre-med, 21 years old, 3.9 GPA, 30Q MCAT, 5 10', Application cycle 2006, great smile, a hopeless romantic............... Looking for a cute single girl and a medical school :laugh:
 
It's really something how a person can never really appreciate being single until they're married...

Ahhhh, those were the days...

you married??? Is that watcha sayin??? :laugh:

I don't know, there are many happy things that I'm sure come from marriage. If you are single, too long, you'll see that it can get lonely. It must be nice having someone to share your life with and what not.
 
Hmmm... I am applying for 2006 and hope to actually get engaged this spring (been dating for 3 years) and then get married after my step 1. I am actually doing an MD/PhD so I think the break between 2 year and my research would be a fabulous time to get married 😉
 
Get married now. I wouldnt wait. What the hell is the difference, now or later. Later is probably not a good idea, with studying like mad in med school and never seeing your sig other.

Dont stop your life just for med school.
 
A friend of mine just got married this past summer and will start med school this fall.

Another friend of mine got married when he finished undergrad, last summer. He's going to do an SMP program at gtown because he didn't get in after applying twice.

Another friend just got married after finishing her second year of med school, and then transferred out of USF COM to UMich SOM

Get married when you are ready to get married.

Oh BTW none of the above cases, are cases where both are MD's to be. Only one of them is a med student or soon to be med student, etc. The other spouses in individual cases, do different things.

Two of those cases are of people with spouses that want to do something related to law or political sci, and the third case, I'm not sure what the spouse does.
 
just don't marry because the time seems right. wait until the situation seems right - there is no optimal time to get married. hell, i can't wait til my last year of college as a bachelor!
 
inflamesdjk02- Nice avatar bro

Lots of people meet in the first year of med school and end up spending so much time together that they end up getting hitched the summer after the USMLE step 1

Check out the nurses or techs, they're usually hot for doctors. 😀😀😀 I'm marrying one, at least, and I don't even have an MD yet.

What's so unappealing about us premed girls? I personally think premed girls are deliciously dateable 😛
 
I agree. I'm dating a pre-med girl. Just have to hope we get accepted to the same schools. I'm crossing my fingers.

Im dating a Premed Guy and I find it nice to be able to say DNA translocations without the "I have no idea what you are talking about" look staring back at me.

Applying to med school together might be stressful tho. What if one of us gets accepted to one school, and not the other? Better yet, what if one goes to med school thsi year, and the other gets rejected? :scared:
 
I'm as single as they come, and I'm planning on staying that way. Marriage is NOT something to rush in to. Sounds like most of you married people on SDN are ready, though. Good for you!

A bunch of my friends are getting married right now and it's crazy stressful trying to plan it all. But all of my pre-professional friends (mostly lawyers and business people) are waiting until their late 20's or early 30's. That's when the biological clock starts freaking out. AHHH!

I tend to NOT be attracted to pre-meds or doctors even (except this one intern here-- he's hot...but, then again, he's leaving medicine b/c he's sick of it).

But, hey, I'm open to dating a pre-med. Hey you! Yeah, you, that cute single pre-med over there! Come here! 😉
 
On a related topic, this would be a good month to get busy if you want a baby during MS1-2 summer break.
 
I hear you, Megboo. I didn't think I'd have to worry about the biological clock until much later (40's) but 2 of my friends (33y/o and 35y/o) can't get pregnant (actually, one of them CAN get pregnant but repeatedly miscarries). Then again, the 42y/o I used to nanny for was successful with in vitro.

I guess all of our uteruses (is that really the plural of uterus??) are different, though.
 
Megboo said:
Naaahhhhh, I'll be 29 in Oct. and getting married in November. My fiance is 35. We probably won't start a family until I get out of med school (provided I get in 🙂). Can't hear the biological clock ticking here!
Click to expand...
Ick, mine is ticking! 😱 Hopes for possibly being 28 and starting med school in two years. Its inevitable that I most likely would probably have a child during school and one during residency. I don't want to be that old of a parent. When it happens, it will happen. God knows what I can handle (and i'm not an overzealous religious fanatic 😉 )

Y'all aren't the only ones from Toledo here.
 
I, for one, find that when I'm out 'sharking' as soon as I mention the phrase "medical school" ANY guy I'm talking to goes "Oh" . . . and the conversation peters to a halt.

I remain single. The last 3 guys I've dated were pre-med and I think at least one of them broke up with me because I got a better MCAT score than him.

Lame.

But this is about marriage before med school . . . I guess I have no real basis to compare, but going completely on instinct I'd say (with the caveat you're a traditional student) WHAT?! Married at 22?!! Are you ****ting me?

Half the time I still want to sit around playing nintendo or making snowmen - I am definitely not up for that kind of commitment.

But if you are, and you think you can handle the pressure/stress and you think your wife/husband will be able to deal with hardly ever seeing you. . . by all means. And best of luck with it.

I certainly respect your not being ready for commitment. But you must know that the right spouse will be the perfect companion for nintendo playing and snowman making.
 
. . . touche'. . . so where is this 6'2", blonde, blue-eyed, pre-med, snowman-building, nintendo-playing, guitar-toting, goofy dream man? 🙂

I used to be the same way. Even up to a few months ago. I am 26, happy, carefree, enjoying life. But then, sometimes, just SOMETIMES you find that 'one' person. He's a med student. He understands my troubles and we have NOTHING medically in common. Life is about living OUTSIDE of what you do. Relationships are important. You find ways to make things work, just like marriages. If you don't work at it then it won't work. Same thing about those who wokr 80 hr/ work weeks and you never see yoru spouse. Its not just med school, its life in general.


If you dont want to take the time out for that person, obviously, they aren't that right person for you. Just my observation.

Sorry, but I'm already spoken for 😳 😉

Don't worry about it... Someday either A) he'll turn up, or 2) you'll lower your standards, and everything will work out.
