I think this is a wrong forum to ask, maybe you should go to med students forum?

I suggest that you concentrate on getting into med school first.

Depends on the fellowship first of all.
Cards, GI, IR, MFM (or so im told), peds surgery are just a few examples are very competitive fellowships.

Depends heavily on the fellowship and the "parent" specialty. For example, all of the psychiatry fellowships aren't competitive, and many spots - sometimes even a majority - go unfilled each year. In contrast, some internal medicine specialties are quite competitive (e.g., cardiology, GI) and fellowships in other subspecialties can be quite competitive.
