Where Anita started.
Thought Finland needed IELTS 7.
- +2 in management, GPA 3.2.
- IELTS 6.0, sure it was not enough.
What we changed.
- We read each university's admission page instead of a Facebook post: her programme asked for IELTS 6.0, not 7.
- Her first-year budget was built around €800 a month living costs, the amount Migri asks you to show.
