Hello. I’ve always dreamed of studying Medicine in Germany. So I’d like to know what are my chances as an international student of actually getting in because first of all, I need to study German and I have planned on actually doing that in Germany but if my chances of getting into a Medical university are very low then I’d reconsider spending so much money and an entire year learning the language when I’d have to pack up and go back home. From what I have researched, studying an undergraduate program in Germany is relatively inexpensive and the level of education is high so I don’t mind making the sacrifice as long as I know that I have a good chance of getting in. Can anyone offer me some advice please? I spend hours researching and emailing universities everyday but not knowing a specific grade requirement puts me in an uneasy position. I’d really like to hear from you all. 
I currently live in Germany and went to school there so I might have some information you are looking for!
It is true that the medical education is very inexpensive, however, for a non fluent speaker it will probably be very, very difficult to understand the language at the level required. You should also be aware that in Germany, especially if you have had a so called ‘Leistungskurs’ for your high school diploma, you are far more advanced than in the US. For the Physikum (the equivalent of the USMLE Step 1) the pass rate is at around 78%. Your classes will also be much larger than in the US. The University of Frankfurt for example has a freshman class of around 340 and at the University of Munich the freshman class is at around 900.
I am not sure on what the grade requirement is for somebody who didnt receive a european high school degree, but for germans it is incredibly difficult to get in. (You need a nearly perfect gpa for most universities) I am pretty sure that there are quotas for foreigners and from what I remember only 2% of the available spots are for internationals.
If you really want to go to Germany, by all means do it, but beware that it is incredibly difficult!
Hope this helps a bit
Edit: I found information on which courses you need in order for your high school diploma to be recognised as equivalent to the Abitur:
Math: AP Calculus with at least a 3
Sciences: At least one AP Science (3 or more)
Languages: 1 Language AP (3 or more)
Social Sciences: Something like AP European History etc (3 or more)
Hello! Thank you for the information. Though I believe that AP is commonly for US and Canadian students, correct me if I’m wrong. I do not reside in either of those countries so my school leaving exam is called, A’ levels which I beieve are pretty much the same as the school leaving-exam in the UK so I am not sure if APs are equivalent to A’ levels.
Believe*
You’ll need A levels in Chemistry; two out of Biology/mathematics/physics; and a language, from what I understand. And very fluent German is essential.
Info from one German medical school is here:

I have those A’levels. I just need to learn but is it worth spending an entire year doing it if I don’t have a chance at getting in? I don’t know and that’s what I hope to find out. 
Maybe I should study the language and apply for every Med school there is in Germany and prayer really hard. Like if I wasn’t going to do that anyways lol.
Thank you for the information thus far.
From my experience as an international student in Germany, it is extremely difficult to get in. The year I was there, I met many international students who aspired to get in and rumor had it that there were about 5 places on offer in the entire country. Entry was based entirely on exam results, which they took after spending a year learning the language. Only one student I knew was offered a place, all the rest failed.
Wow. Thanks for the information.
I checked my certificates on the Anabin database and is says that it grants direct access (for all subjects) to any university.
