"At this point in my studies, I am most interested in Pediatrics as I have always been passionate about helping children. I bring the compassion required for that area of medicine. Also, most of my volunteer experience has been around children's issues. The area of medicine that I find to be my least favorite so far is Pathology. I have not excelled in bio-science; however, I have hired a tutor to ensure my grades remain above average regardless of my natural interest."

If your mind is still wide open, that is okay to mention that. And since they ask, don't hesitate to talk about the specialties you are not interested in pursuing and why.
