Wanting to do neurology at the highest ranked place I can get as I am considering neuro IR down the line. What should my list be and what programs should I signal? I am at a well established but no name MD school in the midwest. Thanks 🙂

Step 2: 277
1 basic science neuro publication, 3 clinical neurology posters (maybe 4 by the time I apply, just submitted one)
Honors neurology and IM, pass on all others (my school doesn't do HP, just H/P/F)
Volunteered at free clinic throughout med school
Grew up poor (received FAP for applying to med school; does this help at all?)
ORM/white
Going to lower tier/unranked MD school that has been around for 50+ years
 
If you are gung ho on neuroIR, look into programs with in-house neuroIR fellowship that historically take neurology applicants and start building connections/research beginning even in PGY1.
