I wasn't aware of that, but in the UK the system is slightly similar, in that there are different exam boards and each schools chooses an exam board to use for each subject (most of my subjects were examined by the OCR exam board, but some like English were examined by the AQA exam board). However, an A from the OCR exam board was equal to an A from the AQA exam board, so the outcome was the same.

You have to type up what's essentially a résumé for yourself, provide referral letters, write an essay, and for me anyway as a music major, provide recordings.
Most, if not all of that could be anonymized as well.
