How does IFW make its selections? How many people actually read my application?
Essentially, we select by committee consensus. At least five committee members will read your application. It is initially rated by three individuals who compare their ratings and come to agreement on a “team rating” for your application. The team ratings from all four teams are compared and collated. Two other individuals read all the applications to make sure that each group is fairly represented in the overall selection process. Final selections are ratified by the IFW Steering Committee.
