<p>hey i really am interested in the field of neurology. As far as prestigous of med school the genral consenus i get is for most fields prestige matters little. Is neurology one of those fields or do you have to go ivy to be one? thanks</p>
<p>No, neurology is not a very competitive field.</p>

<p>Exactly - prestige is typically based on ranking, which in turn is based (largely) on research dollars. Some of the smaller schools without as much prestige focus more on clinical skills and can be much better at turning out competent clinicians, which residencies definitely want.</p>
