The cost of a medical degree in Germany is generally very low. While American universities charge significant tuition costs, often ranging into six-figure amounts, for those who wish to be doctors, German medical schools do not have such high costs for students. In fact, it is very possible for those accepted to a German medical school to get a degree for a few thousand dollars. Even that amount of money is a higher cost than what it used to be to obtain a medical degree within Germany.

All colleges, no matter where they are located and no matter how big or how reputable they are, share some similar "rules of the road." These rules are really more about interpersonal interactions in college than they are about college itself. Nevertheless, the failure to abide by these simple rules gets students into heaps of trouble with their peers every year.

Many early applications end happily, but a lot do not. As more and more students seek the benefits of an early application, colleges have to deny or defer more of them to leave room for regular cycle admits. Colleges differ in their approach to dealing with applicants they do not accept. Some, like Georgetown University, defer all or most of them, denying only those who clearly don’t meet the qualifications for admission. A deferred application is considered again along with the applications submitted during the regular cycle. Other colleges prefer to make hard decisions sooner rather than later, denying many qualified candidates they know they would deny in the regular cycle anyway, and deferring just a small percentage who look competitive for the final round. After years of deferring no one, Northwestern University deferred a small number for the first time in fall 2008; Stanford University also defers only a small percentage. If there is a trend, it is in the direction of denying more students in the early round rather than fewer. The continued staggering growth in the regular cycle applicant pool makes it harder to get the files read if there are too many deferrals. Colleges that deny students during an early cycle do not allow them to resubmit their application for the regular cycle for the same year.
