Talk about your multi-tasking! And to think you were trying to engage this guy in a somewhat intellligent debate on a SDN thread...all while this guy is potentially in the middle of holding a staff meeting!

If there were a hall of fame of posts that would be inducted...

the sad thing was he had a pretty valid point, I was really just making an assumption based on a lot of what I have heard...but he took it to a whole new level

whats sad is that most people in pre-allo will never see it, it'll probably just get buried in all the other threads over there

oh, and that guy just lost all credibility in any future sdn argument. he wont be ablet to get more than one post off before people bring this up. :laugh:

ana--on the day of the mcat, make a trip to your nearest testing center and wait in the hallway. when the pre-meds come out for break, proclaim to them that you have gotten a 41 on the MCAT and that you are there for emotional support. try to hug them.

lol - oh I hate the pre-meds at my school almost enough to do this. :laugh:

Q: Yeah I know. I already got called a bitch and hung up on when I told one friend. 🙁 He hasn't talked to me since.

I talk about it on here because I'll never talk about it in real life I think.

So I have been dating a girl I met in college for 2 years now, and things are getting tough.

She is about to start medical school at the University of Maryland. I am a year behind but applying now. This is obviously a tough situation, because we have become very close, basically to the point where I could see myself with her in the long run....and we talk about that a lot. Both of us going to medical school will probably be the ultimate test, and it just sucks because right now I honestly think that she is more important to me than anything (besides my family).

I really think that it is possible for this to work, and I really want it to, but I have doubts about if I am driven enough. Should I be putting medicine before her? Should I feel badly that I am more concerned with our relationship and really want to go to a school close to her (assuming I get in anywhere)? I know a lot of people on SDN would rip me for this, but I think it's possible to make it through medical school and keep a relationship, I just know it's going to be hard as hell.

I was just wondering what you guys thought, or know of any couples that made it or know any other stories.
She pretty much has the same feelings.

Oh I so know how you feel. This is why, though I have schools OOS on my list, I'll stay in TX if I can. My bf will most likely end up at A&M for Grad school. See but I'm having the opposite problem: I wonder if I'm too driven because I want med school bad enough to put off marrying him.

BTW, I totally think a relationship can survive med school and if it can survive that it can survive anything.

The conference? If the final decision would be made re: when...then I will. I am already planning to go to OPM again next year and I am hoping it is at least within a week of the other.

word, same here. i am applying to schools all around the country, and though i've definitely talked to my bf about it plenty of times, we're not sure what's going to happen next year. if he gets a job or starts school wherever i end up going, that's awesome. but it's certainly not guaranteed. we're both of the opinion that med school/other education comes first.

I think it can too.

Right now i'm just sort of going with the "if it's meant to be it's meant to be" attitude....but I would like to see myself doing anything to keep us together

It just gets confusing

s*** like this i cant understand nik, why would you get pissed like that when someone else does well? like its going to keep you from medical school, there are over 15,000 US seats/yr! people should be happy for their friends not assh****, i can tell that if this guy gets into med school he'll be one of the gunners people hate having in their small groups and teams.

VD - do we need to get the Amish gang together and go kick his a$$?

I'm not allowed to talk about my score or anything med school related around my little sister. It makes her feel badly. 🙄

is she going to be a doctor too?

She's still in high school!!!

But she's never done as well in school as my older sister and me and my parents worry about her self-esteem a little too much.

She told me that I need to get dumber when my mom told her my MCAT score.

oxeye--she just needs to find her niche--once she gets to college and finds something that she can be passionate and excited about then i think it all will change

I certainly hope so!! She's starting middle college next school year - she'll finish her last year of high school taking classes at a junior college. I hope it will get her more interested in school.

The girl has made some pretty lousy decisions in her life, so I hope she straightens out soon.
