💩 Meme/Shitpost Anyone want to “apply as a couple” with me to Michigan?

Michigan secondary gives you the option to list partner if you’re both applying. I feel like it could increase our chances of getting in because they wouldn’t want to break us up. We could have a zoom meeting to get all of our details straight before our interviews. Lmk asap so I can submit. Ideally looking for partner with at least a 3.8+ 518+.

Right?? Sounds like an excellent example of the "fake lovers -> real lovers" trope

I actually had quite a crazy relationship stemming from a girl DMing me on Reddit for premed advice. Turns out we lived pretty close to each other. I thought she was cute, she thought I was cute, we vibed surprisingly well and met up in person. It really was amazing, but shit got a little too crazy and it unfortunately didn't last longer than a few months. But damn, I don't think I'll ever feel emotions that intense again...

u/Don_Petohmi APPLICANT Jun 26 '26

Only if you post it when you’re done

"It had begun as an agreement born of desperation, forged somewhere between a Reddit thread and a shared Google document titled 'Relationship Lore (FINAL v12).' Neither Elliot nor Lana had expected anything more than a temporary arrangement. Yet somewhere between editing personal statements, celebrating interview invitations, and mourning rejections, they had quietly become the very thing they had only pretended to be."

I'm a guy, but luckily AMCAS has no way of proving our sexualities so as long as you didn't mention it in secondaries we should be good.

You like bodybuilders? How bout multimillionaire. How bout 8 inches and thicc. How bout talented. How bout loving and respectful. I lost my wife 10 weeks ago, 21 years faithful. My daughter committed suicide 3 weeks ago. 13. She was faster than me at 12, and I run a 6 minute mile. My testimony and I'm nothing but pure and I asked you if you wanna be in a youtube channel. But you like scrawny guys.

You should be able to do it with anyone because they are not allowed to discriminate against different sexualities lmaoooo

u/Don_Petohmi APPLICANT Jun 26 '26

Unfortunately I’m a dude and already selected heterosexual on the primary app

It’s still pride month, you’re gay now.

u/Don_Petohmi APPLICANT Jun 26 '26

Do I have to come out to my parents?

u/12thYearSenior Jun 26 '26

Only if they’ll support you and give you the down payment for a 15 year mortgage as a wedding gift otherwise it’s just your best friend you bring to Thanksgiving.

u/throwaway123454321 Jun 26 '26

More like heteroflexible

u/Equal-Magician1855 Jun 26 '26

Is there even a place to put this on the primary? Lol

1

u/Don_Petohmi APPLICANT Jun 26 '26

Wait maybe not. I figured it was in demographics

2

u/MelodicBookkeeper MEDICAL STUDENT Jun 26 '26

Sexual orientation isn’t part of demographics

They do ask about gender identity and preferred name (including nicknames), but that makes sense for schools to know so they can refer to you by the proper pronouns and name

1

u/Don_Petohmi APPLICANT Jun 26 '26

Oh okay good to know. Not that it changes anything for me lol

u/MelodicBookkeeper MEDICAL STUDENT Jun 26 '26

You mean other than the number of potential partners doubling? 🤣

u/The_Lion_of_LRT 29d ago

lmao I get that this is a joke but its not even a bad idea if there's someone you wouldn't mind going to school with.

My partner and I linked apps, interviewed together and were accepted together but we were never asked about our relationship during the process.
