My fiance and I are couples matching.
We're from a smaller school with no home residency program. He's currently doing his second away rotation. He got a letter from the first place's chairman and three from our home (we have a dept, just no residency).
Now I have heard of and been told by previous matching couples to contact programs where one partner got an interview to try and get the other partner an interview. Questions:
1) Who should be doing the contacting? Should I contact programs or should he?
2) What should he or I say exactly? I don't want to overstep bounds, but I also don't want to seem like we're not really interested.
I don't know how to do this and it frankly makes me uncomfortable, but everyone I've talked to says lots of couples do it. I just hate passively sitting by and waiting while I keep getting offers, especially because I have no interest in interviewing somewhere if he never does.
Thanks in advance for any help!
