Neurosurgery Residency

[johnsmith]

Do you have higher chance of getting into a neurosurgical residency if you graduated from the medical school affiliated with the residency? For example, if I graduated from Stanford/Hopkins Medical School and wanted to match into Stanford/Hopkins Neurosurgery, how much of an advantage would I have over an applicant from another medical school?

Depends on how much your home program likes you.

You have a great opportunity to make them love you. You also have a great opportunity to make them never want to work with you again.
