Have you applied for GDE Admissions 2023/2024, and would like to complete the GDE Admission Status Check to find out the status of your application? In this article, we will show you how you can check your GDE Admission application status.
Applying to the institution of your choice can be considered a step forward, but trying to determine whether or not you’ve been accepted can be tedious. Therefore, it is not enough to apply for studies at GDE but to monitor the status of the application. With technology, life has become easier and this has led to an increase in the level of online transactions in all walks of life, including the education sector. Therefore, with the existence of school portals, tracking the status of your GDE 2023/2024 application can be done with a click of a button.
As a result of this, the management of the GDE has released a link where you can track your application status anywhere and anytime. The Application status link shows the names of successful applicants accepted and an upload of admission letters for download.
After applying to the school, it is normal to receive a response from them a few days after the close of applications. This is dependent on when you applied and how you applied. On extremely busy periods, close to closing dates, it will take about 4 to 6 weeks. Oftentimes, hard copy applications take longer, as the application forms still need to be captured. Thus, online applications are quicker and have been constantly recommended for prospective GDE students.
If eventually, you don’t receive a response from the school after the period of 6 weeks you do not have to panic. You can easily check your application status on the school portal through the few steps below.
