Is the minimum average requirement strictly enforced

[gradschoolprobs]

I am 0.06 points away from meeting my dream program's minimum average requirement. I've discussed with a professor from the program about it which he said doesn't matter. Would the admissions committee care more or do professors have the final say?

It depends on the programs officers but if you're that close I don't see it being a hard no.

Most schools will still look at people below their minimums, especially if you've already had positive interactions with people there. If they have your name in mind already, they'll look at your application for sure.
