Requirements for medical residency in Germany

[LanceZ]

Hello, I was wondering how competitive is it to get certain specialities in University hospitals

How does applicants get ranked for training programs?

Is medical school grades the sole determinant? How about publications? Is having more publications better than having few pubs in a specific field? And what about volunteer work?

And if grades are that important how to compare with my medical school grades? Do I need to be top 50 in my school for competitive specialities?
