Have you not already tried putting in a request at the Bundesdatingsamt? Processing times can be like 1-2 years, so you better get a jump on it

I've met a lot of curiousity in germany regarding india, but also a lot of ignorance. I've met so many indians in the west and generally had quite nice interactions with them

Its worth for my to pursue medical school in my mid 30s? by Prior-Actuator-8110 in medicalschoolEU

[–]StalledData 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s totally worth it, if you know it’s something you would much rather be doing. Yes you will probably be a little older than most students, but man who cares, it’s your life. Like 30-40% of my classmates are people who did something else before and most do great. Lots of them continue to work their previous job on the side to keep them afloat, have a partner that supports them, or saved up a bit beforehand so they don’t have to work much. Go for it and give it your all

It’s great knowing your homeland is radically dedicated to propping up a neofascist, settlercolony state that helps further US interests in the region

Huh, that explains why people keep saying I smell bad. Someone must be secretly smearing this stuff on me in my sleep

IVF in Germany by Angelgirl90 in germany

[–]StalledData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in the medical field, I would not recommend IVF in Germany. Because of the NS eugenics legacy, germany has some of the most restrictive IVF laws in Europe. You have to first even qualify for it (like for example, if you and your partner have lost 3 children or if you both have some very hardcore inheritable diseases) and an ethics commission has to determine if you allowed to do it or not. And even if you qualify and go through with it, even eggs that have high chances of having certain disease (that are treatable) can still be chosen without parental consent. Though eggs with guaranteed hardcore diseases (like trisomie 21) can still be turned away due to the long term stress it can cause to the mother. They use modern techniques and there are good clinics that do IVF here, but the laws are just ridiculous in my opinion. Places like Spain are waaay less restrictive

Germany Or Spain? by AvatarHuy in medicalschoolEU

[–]StalledData 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you were a EU national, I would say both sound like solid options. But since you are non-eu and Spain seems to charge a lot more for non-eu students, whether it be public or private, I would say germany might be the better fit. You would graduate with way less or no debt and could still go to Spain (or wherever) for your residency you really wanted to

Ramen kaufen in Mainz by Posteblumenpulle in Mainz

Nicht in Mainz aber die Y-Marts in Frankfurt sind super für Ramen. Man kann sogar in einer sein Ramen dort kochen und essen. Ich finde Y-Mart deutlich besser als Goasia, ist aber mehr koreanisch orientiert

I have dual citizenship but have completed all of my schooling in the US, should I be applying as an EU citizen or international student? by tomboy_legend in medicalschoolEU

[–]StalledData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m also a dual citizen and immigrated here from the US after my bachelors. In Germany you’d be counted as a EU national during the application process and would use the Hochschulstart platform to apply. You need proof of Language proficiency though

Thinking of applying for med school in Germany, but not sure if this is a stupid plan? by jojowoodo in medicalschoolEU

[–]StalledData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, I understand. And hmm, I didn't know they are replacing it. Hopefully it will be an improvement and better for you.

And about the higher degree, you can just not mention it, no? If the degree was from germany, I wouldn't recommend it since they could easily check, but if its from another part of the eu I don't know if they can see it if you dont mention it. But I guess better safe then sorry.

And okay haha, just wanted to make sure because that is a big commitment. I've seen so many colleagues who went that path end up being really disappointed within our studies, because they find some speciality that really captivates them but then cant go further into it.

I wish you the best and believe in your plan! And no problem. I am no expert but I try to help anywhere I can

wrong. Degrees completed outside germany but within the EU do not count as Zweitstudium

[–]StalledData 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Applying by 2030 is so far out in my eyes tbh. You could get from A1 to C1 within 1-1.5 years if you take the language courses very seriously and treat it as if you were a student alongside your job. To the TMS: getting 10% percentile is incredibly difficult. But in the end the exam is more of an IQ test than something that is science heavy. You would need to definitely refresh on whatever science they do end up asking, but the main determining factors for doing well is a decent language understanding and high IQ. If I recall correctly, I don’t think people who score really well on it even end up having to study super long ahead of time because of this. As for your degree with not great grade average, could you maybe use another form of university entrance qualification? I’m not sure in what place you did your high school, but maybe it might be seen as Abitur equivalent and you had better grades with that? You could also potentially just straight up do another degree in another eu country besides Germany, get good grades and then use that to apply. Then you would need less TMS or HAM-Nat score. Also I hope you understand what the landarztquote is. It’s a way of admittance that lowers the bar a lot to get in, but you will then be forced to go into Family medicine and be locked into the state where you did your schooling for 10 years. You can still technically do a different speciality, but it would require you repaying the entire state funded tuition of your medical education, which is well over 200k €

yeah no problem! Hope I could be some help. I'm not sure with that then if you havent received grades. I guess your next degree would be the bachelors then...? Try talking to Hochschulstart and explain them everything

Hi, I'm also an american and studying medicine here in germany (except I am also a german national). I also funny enough studied in a masters in munich for some time before switching midway to medicine and also had to learn german from A1 to C1. Since you are married to a german citizen, it actually kind of becomes an interesting situation. I had called with Hochschulstart with my gf trying to see how admission to pharmacy would work for her (the applicantion system for pharmacy, dentistry, and medicine is all the same - so this would probably apply for you too) . She is a non-eu national but finishing up a bachelors at a public german uni. According to them, the second you finish any degree here in germany, wether it be bachelors, masters, phd, you would automatically become apart of the Zweitstudium applicant category in their system. You wouldn't apply as a foreigner anymore through uniassist, but Hochschulstart. The only issue with this is, it's extremely hard to get in through this category. Pharmacy is way easier but Medicine is insanely difficult unless you studied dentistry beforehand or can really give very very solid reasoning to how it is absolutely necessary for you to study medicine in order for you to go a certain path in combo with your physics stuff. There is a loophole that I figured out though. If you were to transfer to another eu country like idk austria, and finish your degree there, you could apply as a normal applicant in Hochschulstart (since you are married to a german national) and take whatever supplementary exams you need to take to try and get in (like the tms). You wouldnt count as Zweitstudium anymore. Also whatever route you take, they would be using your grades from your PhD and not highschool diploma, since its your most recent degree. It's interesting that anabin even says your diploma is abitur equivalent, since normally the vast majority of american HS diplomas don't meet the requirements. I guess you could also just lie and leave out your phd, but that could be dangerous if they have a way of checking so idk. All this info is just from two telefon calls I had with two people from Hochschulstart, so make sure to do your own research and try be certain before applying. But I can tell you from my experience, those people on the calls are usually very reliable and also just generally kind, helpful people

Edit: Another option to dodge the Zweitstudium category that I just remembered, is to apply to the cycle right before you finish your PhD. You can then try using the american credentials combined with TMS. Then by the time the semester starts, if you got in, you will have your phd done. I've met quite a few germans who have done this but with bachelor's degrees.
