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.

Ana - I can't believe this happened to you! What a biyatch!!!

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.

Bottom line - no matter how serious you feel about someone, you can't let your life revolve around them. Obviously, you were interested in medicine before you met her. If you put your dreams aside for her, someday you will come to regret fulfilling your dreams and begin to resent her. It won't be her fault, either, but it will probably not turn out too well.

I've had a long-distance relationship (Illinois to New Orleans) and then moved closer once my career and relationship came together. The relationship itself didn't work, but not because we didn't follow our hearts, but because we weren't meant to be.

I think you should continue on the path to med school. You may end up at the same med school - but then that opens a whole other thing to think about and deal with when the time calls for it.

Concentrate on getting in to med school. If it's meant to be, it WILL work. Trust that.

Truth is: His GPA was higher than mine. So I think he liked me because he kind of thought I was an underdog and he was helping me out by talking to me about med school. I think he felt superior in a way so he got pissed when I did that well.


Or maybe that's my stupid Psyc degree rearing its ugly head.

Thanks for the well-wishes this week on my exams guys. I got an A on my lab practical (yesssssss!) last night and feel pretty good about my A&P class exam today.

I find out Monday about my calc test. I am really enjoying the class and doing well on homework and quizzes (As) but I think I made some stupid mistakes on my exam that may have cost me. We'll see. I'm not as confident about math as I am bio.

Now, off to eat Thai lime chili noodles... yum yum
