How competitive is neurosurgery vs the other specialties

[Guest]

Umm looks like more than 50% of overall applicants this year either didn’t match at all, withdrew, or had to SOAP into something else. Half, in a self-selecting elite pool of applicants. This may be an outlier year but it doesn’t get much more competitive than that

broadly speaking, neurosurgery might not require the highest scores of any specialty -- but by in large requires you to build the largest CV

[Guest]

True. I assume that once step 1 turns to pass/fail, neurosurgery will become the most competitive specialty

Pretty on point, maybe move Anes & Rads a bit higher
