<p>Neurosurgery residency is hell. Ask anyone who have grades good enough to get in. There is a huge huge rate of poeple changing residency after one year due to the insane hours and insane responsibilities. Neurosurg is harder then almost any other residency and odds are you will change your mind about it at some point. That being said, UCONN does have a good program in neurobio. You will have to do well which requires a lot of work. Then worry about getting into med school which is definitely not easy. Then worry about trying to get into a neurosurg residency. Take it one step at a time. If you really like the brain that much take that course of study, but it will most likely not help you get a neurosurg spot in the future.</p>
