No red flags, passed the PE first attempt. Never failed anything.
Any input on how I might fare?

Apply broadly. You have a good chance of matching if you're realistic.

First of all, neurology as a whole is extremely uncompetitive. If you are an American or speak English fairly well (and not extremely awkward) you will probably match in your top 3. If you are a US MD/DO, you'll probably match in your top 1-2. Obviously there are exceptions (upenn, mass gen, washu, ucla, Yale, et cetra) that may require exceptional candidates, but these are few and far between. When I was on the interview trail, only a fraction of the candidates could speak English with any proficiency, and most of them matched.
