Comment:

To increase the chances of applicants being admitted to the universities of their choice, it is advisable to only process graduates with second upper degrees and high school leavers with A to D grades only.

Students with lesser grades who still wish to study in Deutschland should aim for universities that require tuition payment. Currently, the bigger percentage of such universities ask for €1,500 a semester. This is relatively cheaper compared to the USA, UK, and Canada.

Students wishing to pursue a scientific or social science degree should be prioritized over those aiming for business courses.
