I had taken the IELTS exam four days ago and I have received my results today I have 7.5 overall band with 8.5 reading 8 listening 7.5 speaking and 6.5 writing. .On the website it mentioned is that the requirement for IELTS is Band 7 overall but some other business schools have a requirement of seven in each section, so do I need to retake the exam?

And if I already meet the requirements, will my poor writing score negatively impact my application?


P.S.
I have received an interview invite
and
I have to submit it by 2 June since I didn't submit my IELTS score along with my deferred MBA application

Hello dangler,

Thanks for writing in.

As you are falling short on one section, you should check this with the school. The school will be in the best position to guide you. If they do accept your score, we see little reason for the writing section to have a negative impact on your application.

Good luck!


I'm saying that the site mentions overall band as the requirement but in some other schools sectional cutoffs are also present, so should I assume that Berkeley won't have sectional cutoffs?

Hello dangler,

Go with what the website says. If no sectional cut-offs are present, then you may assume that there are none.

Thanks.
