losing my girlfriend because I'm a premed

Before I took the mcat, I was so paranoid about studying, volunteering, and this frap that I broke up with her. Now I'm really regretting it because she's so hot, and nice, and the type you want to marry. I hate myself. Some consolation would be nice.

There are so many more fish in the sea. Don't worry you can find someone that is just as "hot" and "nice". Especially after you become a Doctor, girls should be flocking to you.

If she ain't back, it wasn't meant to be. Move on my friend. I've done many things I've regretted at first and it all worked out for the best.

 

[Pinkertinkle]

Why would she come back if he broke up with her?

 

[crazy250]

don't worry about it. i'm sure you'll find someone else, maybe even "better" than her.

 

[Chankovsky]

would girls really flock to a doctor. I don't know if they'll be that impressed by a MD.

 

[jlee9531]

premed over love.

when you could have had both. oh well

well this is a learning experience you can gain something from so you dont make the same mistake again.

umm...yea they would. Regardless, I think you should be less worried about the girl you let go in particular, and more about yourself and the reasons you let her go. Relationships are about sacrifices and if you're too worried about your grades and activites to pay attention to the other things in your life, then at this moment in time, you shouldn't be in a relationship in my personal opinion.

You'll get over it. The best way is to start dating again.

but pulling oh so much a$$ with: yeah i go medical school and chnakovsky md will make it all worth it.

my ex-gf used to complain about how i didn't listen to her or something. i wasn't really paying attention.

Wow. It's not that hard to have a girlfriend and be a premed. You just need to have good time management.

 

[Spitting Camel]

I think you lost your girlfriend because you are a freak! You can't just cast people aside and expect them to still be there waiting for you. Like slick said... time management!

Personally, I broke up with my girlfriend a week before the MCAT not because I was paranoid, but because all the drama she was causing, which was taking me away from studying. I really didn't want to do it, but I really needed to study. We got back together within 24 hrs and had no dramas after that.

But you broke up with her just because you were paranoid? You're right, you did make a mistake. Wait till you find out that all of that stuff really isn't that bad at all and it very possible to be a premed and have a relationship. Now you've cornered yourself into believing that as long as you're a premed studying and doing EC activities and stuff, you're never going to be able to maintain a relationship. A sad place to be if you ask me.

To tell you the truth, I don't buy it at all. There's something else going on here.

The same thing happened to me! We broke up for all the above reasons.

I ended up dating her 3 years later and then marrying her. She's now my wife. 😍

A girlfriend, a healthy relationship, can actually help. My girlfriend has actually gone with me to my interviews, not in, but to the hotel, spent time with me. She's very supportive. We've gone out for dinner afterwards and just enjoyed the area. She's been great about it. Having a girlfriend can really help.

LP1CW, your girlfriend sounds like a really great person. I would have loved to have had someone like her in my life these passed three months, especially during interviews... traveling and being a tourist would have been much more fun! Have a great Valentine's day.

ih8biochem, funny story. I can picture you and your girl having an argument a few weeks before step one. "Don't make me break up with you again... this time It'll be TWO days, I swear!"

Chankovsky, I wouldn't sweat your decision too much. If you knew that she was what you were after, you wouldn't have broken up with her... especially for something stupid like premed. I can see having less time to spend in a relationship oh, a month before the MCAT, but I think there was another reason you decided to leave her.

 

[Spidey]

Today is Valentine's day... call a flower shop, have a couple dozen roses sent to her, and on the card say something nice... like I'm so so sorry I broke up with you, I think it was the stress, but I kick myself everyday because of it.

Give her a couple days to think it over and then call her up. Maybe she'll take you back. V-Day is the best day for making up, girls love getting flowers on V-day.

Patna have some confidence in yourself. If you landed a hot girl once I'm sure you can land another one. Plus it just was not meant to be if your premedical goals interfered with your love life. One had to give..and i'm sure that 10 years from now as an MD you would just see her as a memory. Better then you being with her thinking what if I was to be a MD.

I guess you can try to focus more on school. Maybe if you think more about your grades you'll begin to think less and less about her. It worked only for a short time for me. 🙁 Sometimes, I feel so jealous of those people who can focus solely on school and not let other things bother them. The pain of being dumped is so much worse than getting a B.

I've been coming to SDN for about 3 years now and this place still cracks me up.

Just don't mention in your interviews/etc. when they ask you, "How did you prepare for the MCAT," that you dumped your girlfriend.

dude, i hope you got into Harvard or somewhere else like that, cuz i can't see how the MCAT and whatever else you were worrying about would be worth giving up a perfect gf. if you really think you made a mistake, i would recommend attempting to ger her back, but only if you re- analyze your clearly backward priorities. whats more important? a person you care about? or getting a 34 vs a 32 on your MCAT? if i were her, i would be seriously offended.

i know many people (myself included) who made it through all the premed stuff with a significant other, and my bf and i are somehow managing to make it through the first year of med school. . . its hard, but c'mon, its not that hard.

I'm sure he can work that into his personal statement. "As a medical school hopeful, I truly know sacrifice."
