How competitive is neurosurgery vs the other specialties

[Guest]

basically the title...
How hard is it to match neurosurgery in comparison to the other specialties. I’d appreciate it if someone could rank the specialties in terms of competitiveness

Thanks

Don’t know what are you smoking but would like to try some. ENT is not more competitive than neurosurgery. Remember that neurosurgery you need to be dedicated for it and have spent time in the field generally compared to other surgical specialties where just some sub-Is can get you in, again generally. So you need to know that more effort is added to the formula in NSG.

In addition, keep in mind that there is only one path to NSG where there are multiple ways to plastics and CT.

Lastly, all agree that neurosurgery has the biggest dick, prestige and god complex personality compared to the rest.

Neurosurgery has the worst match rate look at charting. Way harder than plastics and ENT. Take it from me, didn’t get it. Not to mention the average applicant has 18 research items on their resume

[Guest]

ENTs match rate took a dip last year because the year or two before they had like a hundred open spots at the end of the match. It’s not particularly competitive but last year they had an excess of applicants and had a match rate lower than Neurosurgery. This year likely the same. Should equal out soon but overall their applicants just...aren’t the same.

NS isn’t really all that competitive
