I'd like to start a new thread for people applying for neurology in 2015-2016 to ask about their chances of matching in neurology. This way there presumably would be fewer standalone threads clogging things up. Every applicant is welcome.
For some preliminary data, if you look at the 2015 data for the main residency match, 313/321 of US allopathic seniors who *only* ranked neuro on their rank lists matched, which is 97.5%. I'll add some more data to this in a bit.
As for me, I am U.S. Allopathic senior, USMLE Step 1 mid 220s, step 2 upper 220s, passed all of them plus the step 2 CS on the first attempt. In the lower 50% of my class, but no fails. I have a "B" average, but I got an A in my neurology clerkship and my neurology sub I. I have solid recs, most of which are in neuro. Multiple publications (no first author but two second author) in observational and bench research (though none neuro). I am doing two away rotations at programs in the Southeastern USA. Got ERAS out before noon on 9/15/15, and applied broadly to >30 programs. Will I be at any risk of not matching given this scenario?
