Funny how you see the same names on all the different threads! krudget, how are your results syncing up with your wife's? She's doing nursing, right?
Yup, people seem to be hunting the same tiers of schools. Fun to run into the same people on the interview trail, as well, and compare notes.
Fiancée, not wifey, yet. When things get settled where we are heading, we may set a date.
And she's completing her MD, so not a nurse, she gets that way too much and it more than a little irks her.
She is matching anesthesiology.
Yeah, the couples process is in an enormous pain. The only place that she got an interview where I had one was at UPMC in Pittsburgh which is an incredible program. Also Cleveland Clinic and Case University system, which aren't too far from Tepper. And she is waitlisted at UNC, whose department is in a bit of turmoil and has a terrible intern year. Other than that, none of our offers have synced, which is really rough. And with residency, you make a rank list, each program makes a rank list, and the an algorithm 'matches' you. And in the middle of March is Match Day where you figure out where you're going to spend the next 3-7 years. So leaves me having to write cheques in February with no clue.
Also complicating things, she loved Houston and Galveston. So now I'm contemplating Rice. Don't know if I can stomach another app with large offers to 'better' programs. Affiliation and proximity with MD Anderson is tempting...
But we've told each other to take the best offer we can get, independently. With her 100-hour a week intern schedule and my MBA-1 quant-heavy schedule, we may not see much of each other in the same city anyway. Really hope it works out for the same city, though.
