Is neurosurgery really that difficult of a specialty to match into? I read all over sdn, Reddit, and here, and it makes neurosurgery seem like the hardest specialty to match into... i was just looking for a down to earth answer of the difficulty of matching... I greatly appreciate it as I’m a rising M2...

I don't think it's as hard as derm, ortho, plastics, ENT but you'll still have to try really damn hard to build the CV that PDs are looking for. The research component is the most difficult and is highly dependent on home program and your own research pedigree in terms of graduate degree/time off/pubs from undergrad. A sizable amount of applicants take a year off or have a PhD.
