[wjin06]

Hey,
I know for residencies, they have programs where they set you up with your spouse if you're married, do they have marriage-based admissions for med school also?

no

yes they do actually. I've filled out at least 2 saecondaries asking if you are applying as a couple and if so the name of your spouse. Talk about nice.

I'm not a meanie. I have a married friend that asked our premed advisor the very same question and she was told no. WHat schools are you talking about?

The med schools do consider your marriage if your and your spouse are both applying to that same school. I am not sure if all med schools do but I do know that some do.

There are several people admited in my class as "couples".

I figured it were schools off of the East Coast. That's where I'm applying and none of them have couples policies.

Does anyone know where I could find out more about this? Sort of like what kinds of schools.. state schools, West Coast schools, etc?

Better yet maybe when your interviewer asks if you have any questions, you could propose.
