 In some cases (especially Medicine and Psychology), the NC every year is as high as 1.0 ("see Grades in Germany and Abitur").Critical applicants which just scored slightly below the NC can be invited to an selective interview or an entry exam, depending on the department/faculty.Applicants at Charité medical school who do not directly fulfill the NC-criteria have to pass an entry exam, which covers the basic fields of Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in addition to passing a selective interview.
