Chances of studying medicine with a high school average of 2.0?
Dear community,
I am currently a prospective high school graduate in Baden-Württemberg and I am completely at my wit's end.
It's a daily mental struggle for me because I have to fight against all kinds of fears and worries, as well as really depressing thoughts, and I have to withstand them in order to cope with my everyday school life.
The Abitur exams are getting closer and closer; now my first written exam is in less than six months, and the English communication exam is even before that, if I'm not mistaken.
Well, of course, this isn't about the exam dates, but rather about my future and my path after graduating from high school.
I have severe test anxiety, which is why I can imagine that my performance in the "big" exams will suffer. Therefore, I don't want to overestimate my Abitur grade point average. I'd expect a 2.0.
We all know now that this is not enough to be admitted to study here in Germany based on the best Abitur grades, and this is precisely what reinforces my fear: I torment myself every day with the thought that my long-held dream of studying medicine is simply not written in the stars for me and that I will probably never be admitted.
Can anyone tell me, based on the current status, whether I still have a chance of studying medicine in any way?
First of all: I would also go abroad if it were the only way to get a place in my studies. I had also considered pursuing vocational training (for example, as a nurse), but then I learned that this still didn't guarantee a place at university, and I wasn't so keen on that idea.
Best regards 🙂

In Germany, at a public university? As a possible way, only the country doctor’s rate or the access for professionally qualified after you have completed an appropriate training. These ways, by the way, also want to go to hundreds of thousands of others who also have the problem that the Abitur is not good enough.
If you have the desire to be a soldier for at least 17 years, you could do medical care officer at the Bundeswehr and get medical studies. However, make sure that you would have to be a soldier in the selection process.
You can go abroad, private universities… somehow, somewhere would certainly be a way to find if you are flexible enough and your wallet is big enough.
Honestly, I would have told you that you should probably go to the psychologist for a year before the high school starts. To be finished with the test anguish before everything counts into the abitur note.
However, it’s too late now, the Abiturnote is already half written and even if you deliver 15 pcts from now on, you’ll probably have no chance to write a 1.0.
I’m afraid the answer will most likely be that you set an alternative goal that is realistic and that’s okay for you too.
And I close SaniOnTheRoad an: Since one has to perform examinations quite regularly in a study and the examination phases are already a challenge for mentally healthy people, I would generally rather not recommend studying before the examination is satisfactory.
Additional aptitude rate, pediatrician or ÖGD-Quote, study at a private university, study abroad, study on the German Bundeswehr, study as professionally qualified… in possible ways it does not lack.
However, there is a guarantee of a place of study none these ways.
And here we come to the Pudel core: You should really ask the question whether you have a great fear of testing very test affinities Subject do a favor.
It is often tested (depending on the university somewhat more or a little less) and the respective range of substances, the depth and the requirements are clearly beyond the level of abiture – and this is at a chronically scarce time.
Without being in control of the anxiousness of the exam, the study will also become a spearhead race after approval…

Geting a medical study site despite 2.0 Abitur is less problematic than your fear of examination.
If you really want to study medicine, you should handle your fear of examination. Examination fear is very counterproductive, especially for the many oral examinations in studies. Depending on the university, you also have unannounced reviews and queries in the internships.
That doesn’t sound good either. What exactly does it stress you so much? That sounds so hard now, but whoever has difficulties to cope with his school life will probably not last 2 months in medical studies. The school is a Klack compared to what you expect in your studies.

You have 0% chance in Germany about your grades.
There might be a chance about the “additional suitability ratio”. You can participate in unloved universities (Greifswald…). There’s better chances.

Many Germans also study in Budapest. There are high tuition fees.
You could try to pass the test in Austria to study medicine. Or if you can afford it, go to another country and study medicine or go to a private university.
There are always ways to really want something.
The friend of my nephew first made a training as a nurse with subsequent specialization on surgery sister.
She then studied in Graz and Linz. She did the necessary internships in German hospitals. She has been working as a doctor in a German hospital for three years.
Please don’t be angry, but I’m just wondering if you already have such problems with the Abi/Abi degree, how you want to get a degree!?
I still wish you a lot of success and print the thumbs for the badge!
What’s so bad about 2.0?
There’s nothing bad about 2.0. But he or she is right. A medical study is much heavier, more time-consuming and is full of examination situations. If you’re not psychic, it doesn’t matter what average you have.
I find school doing a psychic more than university
