Quick Question about IELTS score

[Joelle111]

Hi all

I just got my IELTS result

Overall: 8.0
L 9/ R 7.5 / W 6.5 / S 8.5

The University of Ottawa says the overall score of 7 with no band under 7. Does this make my score unacceptable? Also can they overlook this considering that I scored an 8 overall?

You should email them and request to consider the other band scores. They have lot of applications so they may have other students who would have scored 7 in each band. There is no harm in trying and requesting.
