on condition that vs if

Post by kwfine »

Dear teachers,

I came up with a question when I was writing an email to my school.
My application will be considered as successful only on conidition that ABC school has received your letter before 30th this month.

Today is 25th Jan, and 30th has not come yet. Should I change the above sentence this way?
My application will be considered as successful only if ABC school will have received your letter before 30th this month.


Thank you.

Kitty

No, but note the corrections:
