No. Not even close.

I don't know, I never owned an Ipad. But I would assume a laptop with word can do the job.

 

[rsdplaya]

can you elaborate please on how you think it will be useful?

I wonder how many other impulse purchases you've made throughout the course of your life.

med school? Would you mind posting or pming me your stats ie school, mcat score, sci gpa, etc? Id really appreciate it!

 

[assistantsupervisor81]

a laptop would be better. much easier to keep up with the notes teachers put up

 

[escobarmeth]

you'd be better off just using an iphone or an ipod touch. Make sure you get the Netter's app and the Lange Pharmacology app. They will be TREMENDOUSLY helpful. Congrats on starting your first year! If you need any useful resources for basic sciences, PM me. I have a lot of useful stuff.

Son, you know damn well that you only created this thread so that you could brag (slightly) about getting into med school.

If you were really interested in an Ipad, you'd check out the uber-long thread dedicated to it and it alone, as well as the official (all-things) MAC thread.

I would recommend calling and asking to be honest. I know some schools practically require it.

I think either an Ipad or a Ipod touch would be useful for Gross and other studies.

The Ipads screen would probably make it easier though.

It would be annoying to use. Use your books for the boards. You're going to need to draw and underline a lot. Get a PDA for the wards and you're good to go

Do u not have laptop..?

 

[jwong]

This has to be a joke. This guy can't be serious with a question like that

 

[kicksnbeats]

What med school did you get into OP?

Btw, I'd go with a laptop for all the intense note-taking you'll be doing, medical school is no joke.  The learning curve is similar to drinking water out of a fire hose.

Why waste money on something that might not be required and you can't even think of a good reason to have?

I know friends who are nursing students are required to have an iPod touch so they can have some handheld programs. I'd wait until your teachers or advisers tell you that you're required to have an iPad. Otherwise I think you're better off saving your money and investing in a fully functional notebook or netbook if you want something on the go.
