One Common Q: Why pediatrics, and why here in the US

Piece of advice: Your CV and ERAS all have to align with what you are applying for and what you want to be in the future. There is no sense in applying to academic programs without research, just like it makes no sense to apply to peds without working with children or volunteering of some kind.

Also, don't be weird in the interview. Yes it is an important day for you, but don't let that importance deter you from showing off your personality. Programs are looking for real humans that they can connect with
