<p>In your experience or exposure to others in this situation, what exactly are the benefits of indicating committed couplehood (married, engaged, seriously attached) in a couple's graduate application to different departments of the same school?</p>
<p>I heard it can help if one person is accepted. Next second person contact the department and notifies about it. If one in the couple is really strong they can accept both just not to lose him/her. Before admission of one person I would not notify about your relationship.</p>
