Apropos of multiple substreams on this, it's worth noting that Medical
School in Germany is an *undergraduate* school; you go to med school
right out of "high school", just as you might go to get a BA otherwise.

The reason they can do this is that you get into University from the
gymnasium, which isn't a place to work out but a special college-prep
high-school.  In general, universities in Germany won't accept american
students without an american BA, because otherwise they don't have
sufficient preparation to compete with gymnasium graduates.
