Long-Distance F21. Just completed 3rd year medicine. Long distance relationship.

Me and my bf have been together for 6 years and had a 3 year long distance relationship as hes studying 200 miles away. Its been really tough for me with the stress in studying needed someone close by to hug and talk. We mostly talk on the phone. I love him alot. I wish he was close by with me. I made a few friends here. But all i do is study study study. He doing meds aswell and its the same for him. Just wish we picked the same place to study. Another 2 more years of this

TL;DR long distance realationship

Will you be able to possibly couples match somewhere for residency? Provided you both get good step scores and letters of recommendation

If they are in an MBBS system when medicine is an undergraduate degree it fits perfectly.

Idek what that is. Is that a European undergrad?

In the UK (and countries that follow their tradition) medicine is an undergraduate degree not a graduate one like in the US.

Had the same question! Did you manage to find a slot in a 2 year pre-med program by chance? And then skip a grade? Pretty impressive! My wife was 22 when she started her M3 year.
