Applying to TUM MSc Applied and Engineering Physics, deadline May 31. My IELTS is scheduled for May 26 (computer delivered, results in 1–5 days), so the certificate might arrive right on or just after the deadline.

I emailed the academic advisor asking about flexibility but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone been in a similar situation with TUM? Did they accept the IELTS certificate a few days after the portal deadline, or is May 31 completely hard?

All other documents are ready, just the IELTS certificate is the issue. Would appreciate anyone who's applied to TUM with a tight English certificate situation.

Hey, I have a university application deadline on May 31 and I'm trying to decide between booking IELTS on computer for May 23 or May 26. The site says results expected in 1–5 days for both.

If I take it May 26, best case results arrive May 27, worst case May 31 or even June 1. Has anyone taken computer-delivered IELTS recently and how long did it actually take? Is 1 day realistic or does it usually take the full 5?

Basically trying to decide if May 26 is a safe enough bet or if I should just book May 23 to be safe and have less time to prepare.
