What type of board scores are necessary to get into a top neurology residency? I know it's one of the less competitive residencies but I'm talking Partners/UCSF/WashU/Hopkins level
 
250+ won't close any doors.

Everything else.. it depends.

Would you also need some type of research for the top places even with a score like that?

Yes. For the most competitive specialties like Ortho, Derm, Plastics, etc., it's just average to have 250 and loads of research.
 
Depends on your school too
Top MD school? Low-tier MD? DO?
