When will I find out if my General Application has been approved?
Processing times for General Applications (GAs) can vary depending on the details of your submission.
What to expect after you apply
-
Most applicants hear back within about one week.
If your application meets all eligibility requirements and does not require additional review, approval decisions are typically sent within this timeframe. -
Some applications require additional review.
If your application needs further review by our admissions team, the process may take up to 3–4 weeks. In these cases, an admissions staff member may reach out directly if more information is needed. -
If you haven’t heard back after 4 weeks, we recommend contacting the IFS Institute for assistance.
All General Applications are reviewed in the order they are received.
