It's been only less than 24 hours since I discovered this channel but the amount of love I have for these two amazing people is just priceless!!! Your excitement is just motivating and contagious. I pray to be as amazing and positive in med school as you are. Stay safe bro.
Brooooo that was seriously the sweetest comment ever :) Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the kind words. I hope you gain value and experience from my channel! :)
Imagine your girl laughing and being happy whenever you basically say ANYTHING. That’s what I like to see. Good luck on your Med school journey, it‘s a tough road but well worth it!
Hey! Some tips for Mac productivity in general and for med school. Three essential: 1. Alfred (like Spotlight CMD+Space, but more powerful) 2. 1Password (for password management and security. Integrates super well if you use Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.) 3. Bartender (Control which items you want to see in the top-right menu bar). I only keep the date and time up there for less distraction. School related apps: - Anki / Quizlet (of course). - Complete Anatomy (for anatomy). A subscription gives you access both on Mac and iOS. - GoodNotes on iOS and Mac for note-taking. - Scannable app on iOS/iPhone is my favorite way to scan physical papers into digital PDFs or images. Other misc Mac tips: - Hide dock for more screen real estate and less distraction. - Most things sync with iCloud so make use of it. There's a lot of other things/apps to set up and figure out, but these are, in my opinion, good for every new Mac and iPad.
Yoooo such a clutch comment!! I have been using Alfred and I absolutely LOVE it! I will definitely check out Bartender and 1Password. ANKI & Complete Anatomy have been super awesome to use. ANKI just really streamlines active recall so well. I opted to use Notability instead of Goodnotes however I may give it a go at some point! Thanks for all to advice! As a new mac user, this was such a helpful and detailed comment! Thank you so much Jacob!
My little sister is pre-med and I’ve been watching these med school/pre-med vlogs with her to prep her for what’s to come. The joy that comes with getting an Apple product is so real, fam. Lol! Good luck with med school!
Aweee that is so sweet of you! Your little sister is super lucky to have someone like you looking out for her! && Yes I feel like everyone LOVES getting apple products! ;P
I was rewatching this video tonight and I just realised I’m watching it exactly two years after it was posted! Love rewatching Shaun’s early med school days!
Happy birthday man!!!! It's my 2nd semester of grad school and just got the MacBook pro 16”! It's amazing!! Enjoy and good luck with the start of your program
Dude props to you for staying so humble man. I know kids in middle school with macbook pros. Awesome of you to get into freaking med school using a Chrome Book through highschool! keep it up dude, future's big fo you brother!
Oh yeah! You gotta use the "crappy" stuff so you can appreciate the nice stuff! I have been using this macbook over the last week and I absolutely love it!
Some apps that you r definitely going to use in med school: microsoft word (for essays, manuscripts etc), power point (presentations) and excel (data extraction), mendeley/zotero/endnote (citation managers for references of your studies), stata/revman/R (statistical softwares for clinical research), UWorld (for usmle steps) Wish you all the best for the 1st year. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Let us know when you r about to start your usmle step 1 prep.
Ooooooo clutch! I will definitely look into those Citation and Statistics programs!! I will likely start USMLE prep after my first year! Thanks for supporting the channel! :)
My sister and I both invested in the most expensive option with our Macbooks when we entered freshmen year of undergrad. My sister is 23 now and her Macbook (from 2015) still runs like it is brand new! I have had mine for four years and mine is the same way. Definitely worth it in the long run
What was exactly my mentality when I was picking the specs! I just wanted to future-proof myself so I would not have to worry about it in the future! :D
Such an incredible setup bro, you are going to do so well in med school, I’m excited to see your journey in this step of your life. Keep the great work going💪🏻
Hey! I'm MS 2 student. And I think u r super excited for ur medical school. But once u start ur classes u r gonna get busy.So just enjoy ur orientation to the fullest. These orientation are the best days of MS1
i love the setup! Make sure you download Anki. It's flashcards that you make but its all about repetition and super helpful for memorizing and learning tons of info
Get the app called spectacle for your mac. It allows you to snap windows to either side of the screen, to the top and bottom, to corners, to full screen and more very easily. Definitely the best app I've gotten.
My college journey life changer app has been goodnotes, because it’s in all apple devices. I can access my notes on my phone, iPad, and MacBook. Plus command+f is your best friend don’t ever have to worry about where it was you had notes about anything.
Shaun Andersen, MS1 I really appreciate the integration with all apple devices it makes very convenient to find notes and organize them. Also, I like the unlimited folders and helps me arrange my notes perfectly. However, I utilize Notability for a few classes that the professor quizzes on random things he says. I record them in Notability with notes and since I don’t have all my other notes there is better to manage. Also, I have made documents in Goodnotes to keep track of my assignments and study time which has increased my productivity 10x, I can share with you if you’d find it useful.
If you want to go paperless try getting GoodNotes really good app and it syncs with your iPhone MacBook and iPad. I’m using it in my first year of college and my goal is to get into medical school too. Good luck with everything!
@@ShaunAndersen Honestly I won it in a giveaway.If I were to choose one thing the stands out it would be how organized I can be in this app. I make a semester folder for each semester and a notebook for every class, also it has a search function which is amazing for finding things really fast. I got GoodNotes in a giveaway, but whatever you choose is up to you. Both are very similar to one another so it really doesn't matter. You can look up some videos on UA-cam to see which one is best for you.
Congrats Bro!! You gotta download the Notability app on your mac too so your notes can sync from your ipad! Also did you know, on notability, you can record and it transcribes your notes to the recordings so it's easier to go back and review notes corresponding to voice lectures?
Congrats on your purchase, haha! I’m sure it’ll be worth it, but that monitor tho, seriously wow😳😰. I can’t wait to come along on your med school journey, I’m just as excited as you are! 😂 Keep up the great organisation and hard work!!
Check out SideCar which allows for your iPad to be an additional monitor to your MacBook pro so that you can use your iPad features on Macbook software.
Hey Precious! Thanks a ton! :) I definitely recommend the desk! I have been using it for a couple of weeks now that school has started and I love it! It has a ton of space and depth! I hope residency is going well!
Congratulations Shaun and Happy birthday 😘❤️ I'm so glad that I've come across your channel. Your videos are so uplifting and inspiring. Stay Awesome 🔥❤️
Dude these pens are super cheap on Amazon!! :D The link is in my description! But I will definitely go watch KarmaMedic's video! :D Thanks so much bro!
Hey Shaun, I must say I am a really huge fan of you since like 750 subscribers. I wanted to ask that when you were feeling low, what did you do to make yourself feel happier?
Yoooo Ahmed thanks so much for sticking around for so long! I seriously appreciate the support so much! Honestly, whenever I feel down, I just think about why I am doing this and how, in just a few years, I will be completely done with all this grinding and all the work will finally pay off!
@@ShaunAndersen thanks alot dude its just that I'm going to give my admissions test for MD and yeah I'm literally grinding everydayyyy, thanks for the advice again!
My home is my main study area since most of my lectures are online. I do want to try studying on campus sometime to see if I am more productive though!
Congrats on your macbook and good luck on the next 4 years! Btw did you spike up in subs? Could have sword you were like 3k subs a while ago and now your close to 6k so congratulations!
Thanks a ton! :D It will definitely help support me through the next 4 years! & Yes I think I am spiking in subs 😅 I am noticing a huge increase in my number of subs, comments, views, etc! It seriously makes me so happy!! 😱
Omg that is so awesome! You did good. I'm sure u will use it for many yrs. A name for big pot . Frenchie or Paris. Then when u water it u can think of Paris which is 😍 😊
I just bought my 13in Mac book pro, so far the best application is ALFRED!!! You should look into it, make sure you download it from the internet not the App Store! It’s a productivity app, trust me it’s next level! It’s to much to explain so definitely look up a tutorial, it accesses your files and allows you to search through your whole computer for specific documents without having to go through different folders. It’s also linked directly to the internet and allows you to search instantaneously without having to pull up a web browser!
I've actually heard of it before through Ali Abdaal's channel! You just reminded me of it and I just downloaded it! I can already tell it is going to be SO helpful! I am going to spend sometime practicing with it and I will try to find a good video about it! Thanks so much!!
I too found the app through Ali, he’s great, and you remind me a lot of him. Keep doing your thing, good luck with med school/UA-cam, I hope nothing but the best for your future! I’ll be keeping up with your journey 👍🏻
Macbook is really student friendly! And it will surely last as long as you dont smash your keyboard HAHA lol. Plus your ipad pro will also come in handy. Thanks to airdrop for easy file transfers! Study hard, doc! ✨
Hey Shaun I’m such a huge and recent fan (been watching you videos since I discovered you). This channel is so helpful because I also want to be a doctor. I wanted to wish you all the very best in your life, I hope you become super successful, and continue doing what you doing. God bless you! P.S. I love your girlfriend too, she’s so beautiful and sweet!
Hey Lesley!! :) Thank you so much that is so sweet of you! Thank you for the support and joining me on my journey! Good luck on your own medical journey. I am sure you will become a doctor someday if you keep on working hard! :D
My God-Daughter loves using OneNote for all her note-taking. Your school probably has free (or reduced) Microsoft Office but even if they don't, the OneNote app should be free and auto-syncs to the cloud so you can do notes on the laptop or ipad.
While doing anything on your Mac if you would like to quickly go back and reverse your action, whether that be an accident while editing or a typo on a paper press command +z to go back
Wow great setup! Also I'm an aspiring doctor in high school right now. What do you think I should focus on the most (subjects, skills, etc.) which will help me along the way?
I was so excited to see this video. The MacBook is the best laptop out there. Just wanted to ask how old are you? Just because I want to know how old you are starting medical school.
hxddon is it necessary to rain on people’s parade lol. He said it’s his medical/graduation/birthday gift. Surely he’s not worried about the price of something that’s going to carry him into 4 years of med school
@@ShaunAndersen will u give a favour to all foreign students.if it suits u make a video on how foreigners can apply for specialisation. .I mean which tests ..marks r required or good
I’ve gone through and binged watched most of your videos.. 🙈 well there’s only one thing left to do which is subscribe 🤩🥰 But in all seriousness you are really cool and an inspiration for me! I want to be a doctor one day and it’s content like yours that motivates me! I hope you sleep well knowing that you make a difference in my life! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Yoooo thank you so much for binging and subscribing!! :) I really appreciate that! && thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad you are getting so much value from my videos! I am sure you will definitely get into medical school and become a doctor someday! This was such a sweet comment, thank you so much! :)
Congrats 🌹. I really Wanna ask you about the size of your ipad , I’m going to the MD school next month and I’m really confused about which one is better for MD students 12.9 or 11?
Our school gave us the 11 inch! The 12.9 would be nice for note taking however I think the 11 inch model will be nice to use once we start clinical rotations since it is smaller and easier to hold!
Aww welcome to the Apple family 😸 get anti glare and anti finger prints screen protector for them especially the iPad it’ll feel as if you are writing on a paper
Hey bro, I’m starting med school this year, and I’m deciding if an ipad pro is enough to get through, or maybe I should buy a Mac. PD: excellent video 💪🏽
Honestly I do not have much experience at this point with using either. The new iPad Pros are honestly great and can do a whole lot for you however at the end of the day the MacBook will always be better (besides for note taking). However, you should watch a more dedicated comparison video from someone who knows more about tech😅
I’m not a med student, I’m a Engineering PhD student who also does video editing. And up until this video I was considering getting an iMac 27” (I already have a MacBook Pro) but after seeing your display now I’m definitely considering saving money and just getting the monitor you have. Does the MacBook just connect to the screen then you connect keyboard / mouse Bluetooth to the computer? Or the monitor?
Yoooo sorry for the late response! The display is amazing! The MacBook connects via the USB-C cable it comes with. The monitor also has USB ports in the back which allow you to plug in a mouse and keyboard so you can just dock the MacBook/put it over to the site and use it as a PC pretty much! The monitor I got it this one- amzn.to/3haB4Se
Okay, so the apps i use for medical school are:- 1. Notion (For planning everything) 2. Anki (CLICHE, but worth it) 3. Complete Anatomy 19 (For better visualisation of Human Body; costed me like $27 i guess) 4. Goodnotes Mac App (for syncing my notes from my iPad onto my laptop, easy access)
@@ShaunAndersen Goodnotes has a wayyyyy better level of organisation than Notability, and also it is more user-friendly than Notability. Trust me, I've been using both of them for like 6 months now, and I find Goodnotes 5 superior. (Notability has an "audio recording" feature, which is currently not in GN5, but i guess that'll not a problem for you). Try Goodnotes, you'll love it :)
Hey I know this a old video but I was wondering how you liked your monitor for your MacBook in terms of graphics/ picture quality ? Does it do a good job and would you recommend for others ?
I’ve been looking around everywhere for a good office chair to use while in med school. Ergo 2 seems great but I’m very petite (5’0) so idk if the chair will support me well...What are your thoughts on this? Does it have a very wide range of adjustments? Would it fit/properly support someone who is very petite?
Honestly I don't really know the answer :( I am a relatively small guy and it fits me well however I am definitely not petite so I don't know... :( It is very comfy though
Not sure if it’s been said, but the succulent on your desk are called Ogre Ears because they look like Shrek’s ears. So that can help with naming it. Set up looks great, you’ll really appreciate having a quiet/calm space for studying!
Bro!! They are from Target! The brand is called "All In Motion" and you can find them in the Men's section! They are the SOFTEST shirts ever!! I freaking love them!!
Haha! Pause the intro of this where he’s sitting on the floor with the box in front of him and tell me dude doesn’t look like a UPS driver. Maybe it’s the coloring on my phone lol. If med school doesn’t work out I think you’ve found your second calling
Likely not. However, I will do my best to try to make time for it a couple nights a week. It is my way of staying connected with friends who aren't in med school!
Your girlfriend is da bomb!! Always fun to open an Apple product!! Always fun to go full tilt with the specs! When I went to nursing school, we didn’t have computers like that 😂😂😂 I saw those bone pens! Are we thinking orthopedic? How about Aloe for your aloe plant like Aloe Black? I cannot wait to hear what they tell you about nurses😉😎
She really is the bomb :') I am definitely thinking Ortho Surg would be cool! And we ended up naming the Aloe plant Summer! :) And I already know AAAAALLLLLLL about nurses ;) they are the bomb!!
As a side note, if you want the airpods pro, just give them a call and tell them to add it to your order. You only have to pay $90 when you get it with the education bundle. Just tell them you didn’t know about it if they ask
The links for everything shown is in the description! 😁
It's been only less than 24 hours since I discovered this channel but the amount of love I have for these two amazing people is just priceless!!! Your excitement is just motivating and contagious. I pray to be as amazing and positive in med school as you are. Stay safe bro.

Hahaha she is definitely my #1 supporter :') Thank you so much for the kind words!
As a Mac user, command + space is your best friend! It’ll open up spotlight search and save you minutes each day instead of hunting for files.
This is super helpful!! Thank you so much! 😱😱😱
@@ShaunAndersen use www.alfredapp.com/ its a little more powerful, might have to spend few bucks but its worth it
Hey! Some tips for Mac productivity in general and for med school.
Three essential:
1. Alfred (like Spotlight CMD+Space, but more powerful)
2. 1Password (for password management and security. Integrates super well if you use Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.)
3. Bartender (Control which items you want to see in the top-right menu bar). I only keep the date and time up there for less distraction.
School related apps:
- Anki / Quizlet (of course).
- Complete Anatomy (for anatomy). A subscription gives you access both on Mac and iOS.
- GoodNotes on iOS and Mac for note-taking.
- Scannable app on iOS/iPhone is my favorite way to scan physical papers into digital PDFs or images.
Other misc Mac tips:
- Hide dock for more screen real estate and less distraction.
- Most things sync with iCloud so make use of it.
There's a lot of other things/apps to set up and figure out, but these are, in my opinion, good for every new Mac and iPad.
Yoooo such a clutch comment!!
I have been using Alfred and I absolutely LOVE it! I will definitely check out Bartender and 1Password.
ANKI & Complete Anatomy have been super awesome to use. ANKI just really streamlines active recall so well. I opted to use Notability instead of Goodnotes however I may give it a go at some point!
Thanks for all to advice! As a new mac user, this was such a helpful and detailed comment! Thank you so much Jacob!
Bro the way the positive energy and joy radiated through the video was contagious. Keep up the good work.
Yoooo I appreciate that so much 🙌🏻 I appreciate that. I think positivity is so important because you really do attract what you put out!
If you wanna be an official medical student, you have to get anki on your laptop lol
Downloading it as we speak! 😂
factssssssss
@@ShaunAndersen 😂😂😂😂

Cool video. Check out rollerblade wheels for your chairs. Definitely ride better/smoother on the tile.
Thanks man! :D I will check them out!
I was rewatching this video tonight and I just realised I’m watching it exactly two years after it was posted! Love rewatching Shaun’s early med school days!
I am an upcoming Dental student and I have to say that your videos give me comfort for the upcoming journey! Keep em comin!
That is awesome!! Dental School is definitely tough (I hear) but I am sure you are going to do GREAT! Good luck!! :)

Thanks so much!! :D What are you in grad school for? && YES I love this MacBook Pro so far! I think the 16" is perfect!!
Shaun Andersen, MS1 I'm in school for an MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science). Studying to be an archivist/librarian 🥰
Dude props to you for staying so humble man. I know kids in middle school with macbook pros. Awesome of you to get into freaking med school using a Chrome Book through highschool! keep it up dude, future's big fo you brother!
Oh yeah! You gotta use the "crappy" stuff so you can appreciate the nice stuff! I have been using this macbook over the last week and I absolutely love it!
Lol I didn’t even get a computer until 3rd year of college. I just used the library
Alfred is the best for me for medical school. Notability also a good choice, complete anatomy, anki and bettertouchtool!
That flash figures are the best
I am not proud of how many I have 😂
Some apps that you r definitely going to use in med school: microsoft word (for essays, manuscripts etc), power point (presentations) and excel (data extraction), mendeley/zotero/endnote (citation managers for references of your studies), stata/revman/R (statistical softwares for clinical research), UWorld (for usmle steps)

With SideCar, you can use your iPad as a second display which super convenient when studying! Amazing setup!!
Yes! I learned this the other day and I think it will be super helpful if I am studying somewhere else such as the library or coffee shop!
i love the setup! Make sure you download Anki. It's flashcards that you make but its all about repetition and super helpful for memorizing and learning tons of info
ANKI is my life 😭
Goodnotes app is great on the ipad for note taking. And definitely use Google Chrome on the Macbook Pro versus Safari!
Ahhhh thank you so much! :D
@@ShaunAndersen you're very welcome! Good luck with studying!
It looks like you are having a lot of fun. Enjoy and good luck. Can’t wait to see where you go.
So far it has been a blast!! :) But the intense studying starts tomorrow!! :o
I came across your channel while watching a Kevin Jubbal video. I really like your openness and enthusiasm!! Good luck in medical school!

happy birthday!
Thanks so much Dev! :)
Your excite the makes me so happy I’m a pre pa student. Keep the vids coming. Love Setup all fresh everything
Ahhhh good luck with Pre-PA!! :) You are pretty much taking all the same Pre-Med courses so I know it is a tough journey but you got this!! :)
Zotero is an app I use to organize scholarly articles. Easy to use and I highly recommend it!
You are the second person to mention that! I will definitely be looking into it!
Bro, your gonna be the next doctor mike, you are so adorable btw❤️
I could never be even close to Dr. Mike!! Haha but I really appreciate that! :)

Good choice going with the 16” 👌
I think so too! I was debating but I am so used to bigger screens that I would rather have a bigger one!
Congratulations Shaun and Happy birthday 😘❤️ I'm so glad that I've come across your channel. Your videos are so uplifting and inspiring. Stay Awesome 🔥❤️
Yoooo thank you so much!! :) I really appreciate that! I means a lot to me 😊
Gotta use notability on your iPad for taking notes. It’s incredible. Pay the $8.99 or whatever it is. So worth it
YES! I have already downloaded it! :D
You are living my dream! You’re doing amazing I’m sure you don’t need to hear it again buuuut you’re super motivational 🌟
Haha it definitely feels like a dream! I am very excited and happy to have made it this far! I really appreciate all the support man!

That is my gaming/video editing setup! :)
Hey Shaun, I must say I am a really huge fan of you since like 750 subscribers.
I wanted to ask that when you were feeling low, what did you do to make yourself feel happier?
Yoooo Ahmed thanks so much for sticking around for so long! I seriously appreciate the support so much! Honestly, whenever I feel down, I just think about why I am doing this and how, in just a few years, I will be completely done with all this grinding and all the work will finally pay off!
@@ShaunAndersen thanks alot dude its just that I'm going to give my admissions test for MD and yeah I'm literally grinding everydayyyy, thanks for the advice again!
Moral Lesson, Hard work pays off
Absolutely!! :D
Is your home your main study area or do you study elsewhere?
My home is my main study area since most of my lectures are online. I do want to try studying on campus sometime to see if I am more productive though!
Congrats! Just starting med school next week as well and my birthday is the 18th. Lol
Ayeee congrats on starting med school soon!! :) You got this! And happy early birthday! ;)
Congrats on your macbook and good luck on the next 4 years! Btw did you spike up in subs? Could have sword you were like 3k subs a while ago and now your close to 6k so congratulations!
Thanks a ton! :D It will definitely help support me through the next 4 years! & Yes I think I am spiking in subs 😅 I am noticing a huge increase in my number of subs, comments, views, etc! It seriously makes me so happy!! 😱
Omg that is so awesome! You did good. I'm sure u will use it for many yrs. A name for big pot . Frenchie or Paris. Then when u water it u can think of Paris which is 😍 😊
Ooooo Paris is a great name! :D Thanks so much Sherry!
I just bought my 13in Mac book pro, so far the best application is ALFRED!!! You should look into it, make sure you download it from the internet not the App Store! It’s a productivity app, trust me it’s next level! It’s to much to explain so definitely look up a tutorial, it accesses your files and allows you to search through your whole computer for specific documents without having to go through different folders. It’s also linked directly to the internet and allows you to search instantaneously without having to pull up a web browser!
I've actually heard of it before through Ali Abdaal's channel! You just reminded me of it and I just downloaded it! I can already tell it is going to be SO helpful! I am going to spend sometime practicing with it and I will try to find a good video about it! Thanks so much!!
I too found the app through Ali, he’s great, and you remind me a lot of him. Keep doing your thing, good luck with med school/UA-cam, I hope nothing but the best for your future! I’ll be keeping up with your journey 👍🏻
Never lose your girlfriend she is ur backbone bro😁 and btw u both make a awsome couple
She is a keeper I promise ❤
Macbook is really student friendly! And it will surely last as long as you dont smash your keyboard HAHA lol. Plus your ipad pro will also come in handy. Thanks to airdrop for easy file transfers! Study hard, doc! ✨
I am definitely loving having my work flow integrated into the Apple Ecosystem!! :D
Hey Shaun I’m such a huge and recent fan (been watching you videos since I discovered you). This channel is so helpful because I also want to be a doctor. I wanted to wish you all the very best in your life, I hope you become super successful, and continue doing what you doing. God bless you! P.S. I love your girlfriend too, she’s so beautiful and sweet!
Hey Lesley!! :) Thank you so much that is so sweet of you! Thank you for the support and joining me on my journey! Good luck on your own medical journey. I am sure you will become a doctor someday if you keep on working hard! :D
Oh my gosh you’re so nice🥺 good luck!!💞💜
I felt the same way when my 13 inch MacBook Pro came in a few days ago :)
Opening new stuff is just so much fun!! 🙌🏻
You and your friend/girlfriend have sucha cute personality!! Thanks for sharing, so excited for my welcome package and laptop too!
i’m a pre-med rn and i’m really hoping i can learn about your experience and take few advices, specially for mcat 😫
That is the entire goal of this channel! :) I hope it helps you out a ton!
My God-Daughter loves using OneNote for all her note-taking. Your school probably has free (or reduced) Microsoft Office but even if they don't, the OneNote app should be free and auto-syncs to the cloud so you can do notes on the laptop or ipad.
Ahhh I will definitely check OneNote out! :D
love the video!
Thanks Danny!! :D
Maybe the bone pens are foreshadowing that he’ll become an orthopedic surgeon lol
Haha I would definitely love to do Ortho Surg someday!
What's the point of using the monitor if you could use the MacBook instead? Is it just cause of the bigger screen?
Much more screen space! Especially while studying, I am always doing a ton of multitasking!
While doing anything on your Mac if you would like to quickly go back and reverse your action, whether that be an accident while editing or a typo on a paper press command +z to go back
Ahhhh I think I will need to get a new wireless keyboard. I use a logitech which is more for Windows and there is no Command button on it :o
Shaun Andersen, MS1 Possibly the alt button may do the same thing with a windows computer!
does the keyboard get messed up when you put it under the ipad to take notes??
Nope! :) it’s meant to fold flat!
Wow great setup! Also I'm an aspiring doctor in high school right now. What do you think I should focus on the most (subjects, skills, etc.) which will help me along the way?
Definitely Chemistry, Biology, and Physics! They will all help with the college courses and subsequently the MCAT!
@@ShaunAndersen thanks so much!!!
I was so excited to see this video. The MacBook is the best laptop out there. Just wanted to ask how old are you? Just because I want to know how old you are starting medical school.
no its not he got scammed he could of gotten the same thing or better for 500 dollars less lol
That is what I have heard! I am so stoked! & I am actually 23! :D Turning 24 tomorrow!
yeaaaaaaah it was quite expensive! xD
Shaun Andersen, MS1 Happy birthday in advance. Wish u all the best in life
hxddon is it necessary to rain on people’s parade lol. He said it’s his medical/graduation/birthday gift. Surely he’s not worried about the price of something that’s going to carry him into 4 years of med school
Incredible.wishes u best
Thank you so much 😀
@@ShaunAndersen will u give a favour to all foreign students.if it suits u make a video on how foreigners can apply for specialisation. .I mean which tests ..marks r required or good
From which country u r?
What did you use to mount your power strip to the underneath of your desk?
Velcro! :D
I’ve gone through and binged watched most of your videos.. 🙈 well there’s only one thing left to do which is subscribe 🤩🥰
But in all seriousness you are really cool and an inspiration for me! I want to be a doctor one day and it’s content like yours that motivates me! I hope you sleep well knowing that you make a difference in my life! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Yoooo thank you so much for binging and subscribing!! :) I really appreciate that! && thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad you are getting so much value from my videos! I am sure you will definitely get into medical school and become a doctor someday! This was such a sweet comment, thank you so much! :)
What program do you use to edit your videos? You have such clean editing skills. lol.
Hey thanks! :D I use Adobe Premiere Pro!
Congrats 🌹. I really Wanna ask you about the size of your ipad , I’m going to the MD school next month and I’m really confused about which one is better for MD students 12.9 or 11?
Our school gave us the 11 inch! The 12.9 would be nice for note taking however I think the 11 inch model will be nice to use once we start clinical rotations since it is smaller and easier to hold!
Shaun Andersen, MS1 thanks, I really appreciate your help
or get a surface pro w/ pen and keep your old gaming tower to do work at home (use one note/ one drive to sync it all) :P
Haha I definitely considered it :p but honestly it was too distracting to have my gaming PC also be my school PC! Too many temptations!!
@@ShaunAndersen lol true that
Aww welcome to the Apple family 😸 get anti glare and anti finger prints screen protector for them especially the iPad it’ll feel as if you are writing on a paper
I already realized I definitely need one for the iPad xD I have made so many smudges already!
Hey bro, I’m starting med school this year, and I’m deciding if an ipad pro is enough to get through, or maybe I should buy a Mac.
PD: excellent video 💪🏽
Honestly I do not have much experience at this point with using either. The new iPad Pros are honestly great and can do a whole lot for you however at the end of the day the MacBook will always be better (besides for note taking). However, you should watch a more dedicated comparison video from someone who knows more about tech😅
I’m not a med student, I’m a Engineering PhD student who also does video editing. And up until this video I was considering getting an iMac 27” (I already have a MacBook Pro) but after seeing your display now I’m definitely considering saving money and just getting the monitor you have. Does the MacBook just connect to the screen then you connect keyboard / mouse Bluetooth to the computer? Or the monitor?
Yoooo sorry for the late response! The display is amazing! The MacBook connects via the USB-C cable it comes with. The monitor also has USB ports in the back which allow you to plug in a mouse and keyboard so you can just dock the MacBook/put it over to the site and use it as a PC pretty much! The monitor I got it this one- amzn.to/3haB4Se
You should do a Q and A
I would definitely love to at some point if I can get enough questions! :)
Okay, so the apps i use for medical school are:-
1. Notion (For planning everything)
2. Anki (CLICHE, but worth it)
3. Complete Anatomy 19 (For better visualisation of Human Body; costed me like $27 i guess)
4. Goodnotes Mac App (for syncing my notes from my iPad onto my laptop, easy access)
Ahhh thank you!! I have been on the fence about notion but may go for it! Why goodnotes over notability?
@@ShaunAndersen Goodnotes has a wayyyyy better level of organisation than Notability, and also it is more user-friendly than Notability. Trust me, I've been using both of them for like 6 months now, and I find Goodnotes 5 superior. (Notability has an "audio recording" feature, which is currently not in GN5, but i guess that'll not a problem for you). Try Goodnotes, you'll love it :)
Hey I know this a old video but I was wondering how you liked your monitor for your MacBook in terms of graphics/ picture quality ? Does it do a good job and would you recommend for others ?
I love it! I am very happy I got it and definitely recommend it! It is so nice to have all the extra screen space!
bro you went extra my setup is just my iPad pro
Haha honestly the iPad Pro likely wouldve been fine but I have wanted a MacBook Pro for so long!
I’ve been looking around everywhere for a good office chair to use while in med school. Ergo 2 seems great but I’m very petite (5’0) so idk if the chair will support me well...What are your thoughts on this? Does it have a very wide range of adjustments? Would it fit/properly support someone who is very petite?
Honestly I don't really know the answer :( I am a relatively small guy and it fits me well however I am definitely not petite so I don't know... :( It is very comfy though
Hey Shaun, where did you get your desk? I am starting graduate school and needs a desk.
It is the Bekant Desk from IKEA! :) $199!
Not sure if it’s been said, but the succulent on your desk are called Ogre Ears because they look like Shrek’s ears. So that can help with naming it. Set up looks great, you’ll really appreciate having a quiet/calm space for studying!
Never knew that! I should name it Shrek!! :O && thanks! It already feels so peaceful while I have been doing my orientation sessions!
Bro you gotta tell me what T shirt brand is that or even hook me up the link with the link please.
Bro!! They are from Target! The brand is called "All In Motion" and you can find them in the Men's section! They are the SOFTEST shirts ever!! I freaking love them!!
Haha! Pause the intro of this where he’s sitting on the floor with the box in front of him and tell me dude doesn’t look like a UPS driver. Maybe it’s the coloring on my phone lol.
If med school doesn’t work out I think you’ve found your second calling
High key I will definitely be keeping that in mind 😂😂
do you think you’ll find time for gaming?
Likely not. However, I will do my best to try to make time for it a couple nights a week. It is my way of staying connected with friends who aren't in med school!
Your girlfriend is da bomb!! Always fun to open an Apple product!! Always fun to go full tilt with the specs! When I went to nursing school, we didn’t have computers like that 😂😂😂 I saw those bone pens! Are we thinking orthopedic? How about Aloe for your aloe plant like Aloe Black? I cannot wait to hear what they tell you about nurses😉😎
She really is the bomb :') I am definitely thinking Ortho Surg would be cool! And we ended up naming the Aloe plant Summer! :) And I already know AAAAALLLLLLL about nurses ;) they are the bomb!!
As a side note, if you want the airpods pro, just give them a call and tell them to add it to your order. You only have to pay $90 when you get it with the education bundle. Just tell them you didn’t know about it if they ask
Ooooooo I will absolutely call them after my orientation today! :O Thank you so much!
What did you major in during undergraduate
Kinesiology! :)
Watching these is just stressing me out over how expensive med school is ope
It really us... but at least buying a mac book makes me feel better 😂
