Hey everyone – I’m currently a first-year at a T20 med school in the south, and I’m really interested in peds. I’d love to end up in Chicago (the Lurie program in particular seems awesome). I have friends there, love the city, and spent a good deal of time growing up in the Midwest. Plus, the city seems to have a strong Hispanic presence, and I really hope to use Spanish in my day-to-day practice (I’m fluent).
I know it’s still early, but I was wondering what I should be doing now to keep that door open, especially with Step I being P/F. How important will research be? Extracurricular stuff (right now, my extracurriculars are basically dancing, LMSA, and interpreting)? Anything else?
