I was curious about the neuro match results, and they were about what I expected. For those considering neuropsychology as a speciality, I'd encourage you to look through the numbers and use it as motivation to work your butt off.
It is important to note that there are many sites (some of whom are excellent programs) that do not participate in the Match. The high number of people who did not submit rankings may have found positions elsewhere, so keep that in mind. There are also some people who find informal training opportunities to address their training needs.
The bottom line is that someone who wants to receive neuropsychology training during their post-doc year(s) can find it, though there can be a great variance in the overall training opportunities...which may or may not impact your competitiveness as a professional down the road (or at least in the beginning). I'd strongly recommend only looking at positions that meet Division 40 / Houston Guideline Standards, particularly with the trend of more neuropsychology people persuing boarding. Much like APA v. APPIC acred., you can find sites that don't meet the D40 / HG standards that are still wonderful training sites, but some of the more competitive jobs will require them.
