married

Hello, I’m a recent Grad from UVA with a passion for medicine, but far from accomplishing my dreams. I found my love for medicine when I underwent brain surgery my second year and discovered what medicine was really like. I graduated on time after missing time for surgery, but ended up with a...

So I am marrying a med student the summer before he heads to med school. He has no undergrad debt and I have a good bit of undergrad debt. He got lots of grants for undergrad based on his parent's financials. So my questions are: does he have to do this year's FAFSA in regards to us and not...

I am graduating med school this year with ~350,000 in student loans (federal direct unsubsidized and direct grad plus loans). I am married to a high income earner with annual income ~150,000 and likely to increase over residency. For this reason, if I choose the REPAYE repayment plan, (which it...

Having some pre-application anxiety and wanting some unfiltered feedback from people who don't feel obligated to spare my feelings :laugh: My husband and I both graduated with our Bachelor's degrees in May 2016 (my degree is Psychology, his is Criminal Justice). Immediately after graduation, I...

Hey ya'll! I'm just looking for your thoughts and opinions on getting married during PT school. Is it too much to plan a wedding while in school? I definitely don't want to be planning a wedding and studying for the boards. At my school, the first year is all classes. After year 1, it...

Hi! I'm trying to decide between UCSF and Cornell, and would love to hear some informed opinions. I'm on the older end of things, and am looking for a program that doesn't feel too much like undergrad/academic summer camp. Thanks so much for your thoughts!

My wife and I are both graduating in 2018. I'm army dental HPSP, she is non-military medical residency (family med). We looked at what duty stations would be best for her to apply to a family med residency nearby. I'm pretty sure I find out in December, but she finds out in March. Has...

Hi there. So I am finishing my 4th year of med school and am planning on getting married in mid-June. We already booked the place and photographer, but now I'm realizing that residency programs start the day after the wedding, if not the week before. In addition to graduating, moving, and...

Hello everyone, Let me get right into it, as the title of the thread suggests, my husband will be matching one year after me. I am applying to IM this upcoming cycle in 2017 and he will be applying in 2018. We are both IMGs and hoping to get into university based programs. We are both...

I got married at the age of 18 and have been known as Mrs. Hislastname my whole adult life legally and socially. I was so quick to change my name when I was in my newlywed stage that I never really put a lot of thought into it. I knew I wanted my future kids to have the same last name and wanted...

Post Bach or SMP?? I'm trying to figure out a back up plan in case I don't get accepted again. I do not want to find a different career path and am determined to become a doctor even though the stupidity of my younger years (bad gpa) is kicking me in the ass! From 2012-2014 I was a full-time...

Hi everyone, I am a premed currently considering switching to PA. I am non-trad, and I feel that PA could give me the opportunity to do clinical work but also have time for other things in life. I plan on going into primary care regardless of MD or PA. I am relatively recently married, and...

Hello everyone, I am a 29 years old URM pre-med who is a degree-bearer and came back to school for a second undergrad (I am pursuing a second degree instead of post-bacc because original degree is from overseas) due to a dream of pursuing a career in Medicine. Here is the deal, however: I am...

Hello All, There have been a few similar threads to this, but nothing too helpful or recent, so I am trying it again.... I just got married after completing my secondaries and registering for one interview date. I have not yet changed my name on my social security card or drivers license to...
