But on the other hand we don't need letters of recommendation or other such stuff. We apply on our own and see where it goes, one way or another.
It might be worth noting also that when in the university, you might still need to apply for something every now and then and then the requirements might vary. I have had to do it twice. First to get in the museum studies I had to write a CV and a letter detailing why I want to include these studies in my degree. It wasn't just a formality: 40 applied, 20 were taken. And last spring when I applied for the teacher studies, I had to both provide a similar letter as well as to participate in both group- and personal interview. That, on the other hand, was a formality: there weren't enough applicants, so everyone was accepted. But I obviously didn't know it back then.  |
Ah, okay. That would be somewhat similar to what happens stateside, but the process has really become a formality. Here, those students are getting in regardless.

If you ever happen to get lost in Finland (any possible divine entity help you), I'd be glad to show you around our school system. I have a few contacts here and there.

I likely will take you up on that sometime.
