Is the GRE English score enough to get through without IELTS?

No, the GRE verbal score alone is generally not accepted as a substitute for IELTS or other English proficiency tests for admission.

Most universities require a valid IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent test score to demonstrate English proficiency, even if you have a high GRE verbal score. Some institutions may waive IELTS if your previous education was in English or if you provide a Medium of Instruction certificate, but the GRE verbal score by itself usually does not meet the requirement.

If you need help identifying universities that may offer such waivers based on your profile, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
