Your SAT score has nothing to do with becomming a neurosurgeon. Your SAT score gets you into undergraduate school. Toward the end of your 4 years in college you take the MCAT. Assuming you do well enough on that to get into medical school, (around top 30-35% or so) you must do well in medical school and take another test, USMLE Step 1 after year 2. Now, a lot of factors are involved in getting a neurosurgery residency. You class rank in medical school, your Step 1 scores, any research you have done, letters of recommendation, and your clincial grades during your 3rd year of medical school all matter. It also matters that you are in allopathic school. (M.D.) Yes, D.O's can be neurosurgeons, but it is much harder for them to get a residency in this competitive of a residency. The match results are way better for "U.S. allopathic seniors." Meaning in this country (not the carribean) and allopathic (not a D.O.)

So, by this time, you are 2 tests and at least 10+ years removed from the SAT. Nobody cares about your MCAT score when applying for a neurosurgery residency, let alone your high school SAT score.
