I don’t know which specialty is more competitive than others in your early stage of residency decision. As you know, a lot of people choose Internal medicine because they are going to take a sub-specialty like Gastroenterology later. And Gastroenterology is very competitive.

As far as i know, Northwestern HPME is very expensive, when you make decision you better count it in. Finally, Residency is where your job might land, it is the result of scramble match system, and it is based on your GPA, class rank, USMLE score and recommendation letter. Your school may play some role in the future after your residency and fellowship, in this regard, i think Brown PLME is better than NW HPME. Especially in the future, say ten years from now, Brown’s rank will climb much higher, and it is an Ivy league school.
