DXN: Wow, finally someone in my same shoes! My boyfriend (aka chi-chi on this site) and I are trying to get into the same school too. And for us, we are happy to turn down better schools to be together. I think med school is hard enough, that I can't imagine adding a long distance relationship in the mix. Lately, we've been pretty discouraged by the responses we've received. But, fortunately, the first school we heard from, U Mich, accepted both of us. We'd like to get into Cornell, UPenn, and/or Yale, but I can see that being tough. Have you been telling schools about your situation? I think that helps at some schools and does absolutely nothing at others. Many admissions officers have told us that if one person gets in and the other gets waitlisted, that we should write a letter to the school explaining the situation. They say that when they take people off the waitlist, it is often pretty random anyway, and such information would help. We've been telling schools about our situation during the interviews because for the most part, we've interviewed at schools at the same time. Hang in there.
