So apparently it's a really bad idea to date your fellow classmates (medcest). However, what do you do if you're single?

Also, if you go to a school in a city where there are lots of med schools in the area (i.e. NYC and Boston), is there a lot of student interaction (i.e. socials) between the different schools?

There is a fair amount dating among classmates at my school. Also dating by students in different classes at the same school. I have had a few casual dates with women who attend my school. Lately, I have been dating a very attractive professional actress who knows absolutely nothing about medicine. You definitely can have a social life in med school.
 
Well, there are plenty of people that do date within their own class (although I agree it's not the best idea if you're looking to avoid the drama lama).

Other options:
1. Date med students in other classes
2. undergrads
3. other graduate/professional students
4. try to meet people at bars,clubs, coffee shops ect
5-98. blank
99. Try internet dating sites:scared:

Me: "So what year are you at the University?"
Hot girl at local 18+ night: "Freshman. You?"
Me: "Oh really? Cool, it's my first year here, too"

I mean, it may be misleading but technically I wouldn't be lying, right? 😉

My mother always told me that you meet the nice girls in church. But, yeah, I have met quite a few girls in bars during the past 4 years of med school. Not so many in church.

that's true, but i really don't like meeting girls at bars. i've had a lot of bad experiences.

honestly, i'm not too interested in dating a girl from my school because of the drama that this might cause. i think i'll be going to med school in a city w/lots of surrounding med schools. are there a lot of joint socials btwn the different campuses?

It might be a bad idea to casually date/have sex with someone from your class, but I can't see that there would be any problems with a mature relationship where both sides are open and honest about what they want. It's natural that you'll become close with people you spend a lot of time with, and denying feelings that are there just for the benefit of 'reducing drama' is a terrible idea. You reduce drama by being honest with your partner, whether that person is someone you've been with for years or you're just getting into a relationship with them.

Final thought: my ex was a girl that I worked with as an RA my senior year. There were only 16 of us working in our building, and we were required to be in close contact pretty much constantly. Us dating caused no problems whatsoever. If that kind of a situation can work in a group of 16 people, I'm sure it can work with a typical medical school class.
 
We have a lot of dating within our class/across classes, but our school also has a lot of marriages between students, so I think most people are pretty mature when it comes to decision-making on the dating scene. Yes, it will be awkward to date someone and break up when that person is in your lab group, but it's really great when it works out. I'd check it the grad school, personally--same age, some of the same interests, some number of years spent in training...

There's always your hands and the internet...
 
Didn't ponybreeder4 have questions as well about dating during med school? Maybe her and OP can hook up!
 
At a party about a week into first year, I ended up making out with 2 (or 3?) different girls on the same night.

(Everyone was drunk...I am the opposite of a "player")
Do I regret it...no, I checked off SE Asian, blonde and obese off of my list.

It was a little awkward with one of the girls for about a week after...but there is sooooo much hooking up at my school. It is disgusting...most of it is under the radar. Just the other day I learned 2 people in my small group were hooking up (and had been for about 2 months).

**** man, I would never recommend it, but it is so easy.

1 week into your school starting I guarantee this will happen with more than a few of your classmates...Seriously 1 freaking week

I agree with a poster above...go to a bar
 
Well I figured if you put a bunch of really smart people in an high stressed-anxiety situation without many outlets, the inevitability will occur. Besides, medcest = wincest. Kidding.

Ok so I always wondered how residency worked out if two med students got married. What if they get residencies in different areas? That would be one short marriage thats for sure....

There is something called couples matching that helps couples match into the same area. It's no guarantee, but it ups the chances.
 
Psht... LTRs are for suckers. ZeusonRoids has the right idea 😀

:laugh: I'm starting at your med school in the fall, and from what I saw at second look, I can totally imagine that happening in my class too.

yea but couples match sucks because it could possibly not get you somewhere you would really wanna go and you have to narrow your choices due to couples match so in reality they are holding you back. But, i guess if your going to get married it won't matter as much where you go but it would just matter yall are together.

Watch after the marriage doesn't work out, then you just screwed your chances of matching at a program you really wanted to go to. Some couples both match at really good places too sometimes tho

Yes...it is. That is disgusting BTdub. Mostly because biochem sucks balls. Otherwise it is actually a cute story.

Thanks, I think I was drunk or depressed when I made it. Wait...I was probably both.

My instructors in med school say that my honesty and willingness to be open is both my best asset and my biggest shortcoming. I dont kiss ass and I call it how I see it.

I had an instructor give me an evaluation today and she said, "(my name) I saw you sitting in a corner in your own little world most of the year, and usually that angers me...but I have to say that in this instance I actually did not care because for the brief moments we were able to hold your interest your contributions more than made up for it. You think outside the box and are able to keep up with your work."

I dont know about that. I like the stability of a LTR as well. Single Zeusonroids and relationship Zeusonroids have completely different battles. Zeusonroids is just trying to plant his seed and see where it grows.

Yeah, year after year we continue to have some of the most attractive medical school classes. I interviewed lots of places, and DAAAUUUMMMM some of the other schools are hideous. I actually won't say our school is particularly good looking but I will use a term that has been coined at our school: "Med school hot". Basically this term acknowledges that our best attribute going in was never our looks or the way we dress...or even our personalities. But if you overlook our sheer ineptness and failure to excel at certain aspects of our lives, we do a better job than most.

Have you ever been on the internet before?

Type literally anything into google search with safesearch off and you will see more offensive things than that. Seriously try it. I just typed in "Red Panda" (my favorite animal in the world) and the 27th picture was a panda performing indescribable acts on himself.

Don't date your classmates... 9/10 its not going to work out and someone will get hurt and awkwardness will pursue.. common circles of friends.. you get the picture.. plus most chicks in med school aren't even that hot its just like a blindfold goes over your eyes when you start or something lol

You could always hook up with pre-meds whom you invited to be a part of your super cool clinical research study! Seriously, who is more enamoured by med students than PRE-meds??
 
I don't care if I hook up with this beautiful baby...or that beautiful baby....I just wanna have a good time :laugh:
