Getting a fellowship probably has more to do with how well (and to a large part, where) you do your IM residency. I have plenty of classmates who have gone onto subspecialty fellowships.

You said that fellowships depend on part where you do your residency. So where would give you the best chance of getting a fellowship? University residency programs?

Yes, aim for university programs, especially ones that have the fellowship you are interested in. Also check to see how many of the fellowship positions are traditionally filled by their own residents. Some programs give huge preferences to their own residents when it comes to fellowship, some don't. Look around.
