Looks like @mehc012 and @ChillDawg are desperate to evolve :naughty::naughty:
I was one of the first Pokémon avatar adopters, and I have been adamant since the beginning on the II/acceptance timeline. I think the other is quite silly, to be frank...nothing changes between acceptance and matriculation except that time passes. That's like evolving after being banked in the computer...where is the XP coming from?

Aww, thanks guys...I'm hardly the first interviewee in this thread though...look at @Temporary Superman 's sig! I just think II is a bigger step than matriculation, so I'm doing the II/Acceptance evos rather than the acceptance/matriculation set.

Haha, I think I only have these interviews because all of the schools I applied to I'm in the median range for accepted or higher. I didn't reach higher than Michigan. There are also still a lot of schools that haven't sent out IIs either. Since I only get one evolution, I gotta wait and hope I get accepted though.

The II/acceptance timeline makes sense, and I agree with your decision to evolve (because after all, it's expected you'll matriculate somewhere after you get accepted). I'm just mocking the inconsistency here.

For two-evolution type pokemon, they'll evolve upon getting the acceptance.

Haha, fair enough...but it wouldn't be Pokémon without some bizarre division amongst the fanbase, amirite?

Right...you *only* have those interviews because you're a great candidate! That's AWESOME!!!

TBH, I was going to wait until I had completed my first interview before evolving, but I got too excited. Besides, this way I can think of it as: I earned the XP to evolve from wrestling with secondaries. Next, I will earn the XP to evolve battling travel woes, MMIs, and interviewers!

Thanks haha, but to be fair, UNMC interviews most if not all instate people that apply and my family has ties to Creighton. Nevertheless I'm still really excited, they're my number 1 and 2 choices!

Congrats on the interview invite @mehc012 !!! And it does not matter that there is inconsistencies, I am putting the event that led to evolution as II, A, and M for interview invite, acceptance, and matriculation respectively.

A wild Koffing has appeared. @Lisha are you joining this? Let me know so I can add you to the list.

Haha whaa? What's "this"? I noticed many SDN users were pokemon fans so I decided to upload a pic. There is an organized effort??

We're going pokémon for the app cycle...evolving when we hit milestones (individually decided...either II/acceptance or acceptance/matriculation or just acceptance if you only have one evo)! Join us!!!

I'm evolving into (hopefully one of several) Eeveelutions after I complete my first interview, which will be at the end of this month. Look out for Vaporeon on September 1 :D

So with 0 MD school interviews I should probably change my avatar to a weedle or a magikarp then?
 
No! Be whatever you want. Magby is pretty cute :)
 
Found a Dratini in HeartGold! Gonna train it as the cycle proceeds. I'm thinking 1 level a week until I get an acceptance and evolve (level 30) :D

Just changing things up a bit!

Side note, for your Dratini's HP, maybe you could change it depending on your application status. Heal if you get positive news from a school and lose HP if you get a rejection? (Might be too much effort... but it seems like it would be fun to do!)
 
What happens if you pick Mewtwo? Destined to never get an acceptance? Or are you already a doctor and just don't know it yet?

It's not allowed. I've been lenient but someone's gotta put a foot down somewhere :smuggrin:

Lmao! After looking at this threat I'm definitely going home and starting up the DS. I guess I'm going to have to play the new school game for now until I track down my original Red version.

I've been playing White too, while waiting for schools to give me status updates. I haven't finished SoulSilver or White yet *sigh*

You both are really motivating me to play. I found my Gameboy Pocket (no color) but haven't found my red version. I know I can just download the emulator but I'm considering coughing up $30 and buying it on Amazon.

Damn, a positive and encouraging thread that unites premeds instead of causing fights? *knock on wood* These threads are far few in between... wish I could be applying this cycle to join in! Alas, dumb mistakes were made and GPA recovery had to have been made. Good luck everyone with this cycle! Will be following this thread and can't wait to see everyone evolve.

Damn bro, throwback to the 90's. I was kinda wondering if it was even possible to track one down and looked it up on Amazon. An unopened Red or Blue is $300 :eek:

I still have the old pre-color Gameboy. Some ******* in the dorms busted my speaker, though, which takes 70% of the fun out of those old games :(

That 8-bit music is definitely soothing for some odd reason. If it makes you feel better, I let my friend borrow my Super Nintendo and he "lost" it. How does that even happen?
