On Matriculating with your SO

So you’re thinking of coming to WUSM with your significant other? For the few of you that this may apply to — congratulations on surviving two application cycles concurrently! It’s been an incredible experience in medical school so far — it’s all the benefits of dating someone in your class without any of the potential drama. You’ll always have a second set of eyes around to ask about a Histology lecture or practice buddy for physical exam skills. You’ll share the same cycle of free time and study time. And, most uniquely, you’ll be with a partner who’s been in your life for a long time already, providing a pillar of stability during the tumultuous time that is medical education. Coming to medical school together means making a simultaneous commitment to both your careers and your relationship — you’re going to want to be at a place with mentors and advisors that will respect both those things and nurture you along this path together. It’s hard for us to think of a better place than WUSM for that.
