Rajpreet Kaur Thanks a bunch Wow, that's great to know. I maybe heard from some other source that it's always better to have a step higher band than minimum required in IELTS. Is it just a myth?
Rajpreet Kaur Depends as in if 2 candidates have similar profile with different IELTS scores, then the higher score holder will be picked?
Angad Biswas it depends actually. But in most of the cases, its GPA which should always be higher than the minimum requirement
Go ahead and apply as your GPA will highly impact the chances of admission
