Which residency program is more competitive or harder to get into, neurology or Internal Medicine given the same area hospital or University program? And what would be the average scores?

Thanks

I suspect they're about the same, all things considered.

Probably about the same level of grades and scores needed.

IM programs are usually bigger and have more slots to fill, but then, there's a larger number of applicants for medicine than for the smaller # of neuro slots, so that probably evens out.
