Atleast in germany, the only thing that matters is your grade.
When a course in a university has more applicants than slots, the required grades are lowered (1 or 15 being best, 6 or 1 worst depending on your previous education) until the number of applicants fits into the number of slots.
Since all previous education is free, family wealth matters little (though it still plays a role)
