Hey Dc-10
I have a past classmate (new grad 05) who is applying. Mid 90s boards and top 7 in class. He is doing a one year fellowship and then applying to roughly 10 schools. He told me recently that Endo is nearly demanding some work experience----GPR, Mililtary, fellowship. Well most are unless you have some incredible scores and great references. That is all I know. Obviously you know its competetive but there is a program somewhere for everyone.
Good Luck,
Dr.B
