About me: US citizen, German citizen, and Swiss Citizen. Finishing High School this June in California with a desire to study medicine in Germany.
I tried my best to research the application process for regular German students but am a little unsure how to approach the application. I went to Gymnasium in Goettingen for my sophomore year as an exchange student and am nearly fluent in German and had a brief internship in a hospital in Germany during this time as well.
Should I apply as a regular German student? I would somehow have my grades and AP test scores converted to show that my US high school diploma can compete with an Abitur but am unsure how to go about this process.
Should I apply as a foreigner? I know international student spots are limited but I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with top students who have lived in Germany all their life and have gone through the schooling system.
Any advice about the process in general or how to start would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
