You can say :
If my application is successful,.... |

Favourably.... as it describes how they will consider it. Favourable would mean the application itself was favourable. |

and I would say "favorable", because if the application itself is favorable to them they should call me.
I guess both of them work.
PS-I would say: "...please call me" |

"favourably" is the only grammatically correct solution in this case because you define the verb "to be considered" and not the noun "application" (cf. cunliffe �s answer)

I agree with Lynne , it should be "favourable " according to the construction "consider +sth /sb + adjective " |

@florimago: Lynne said exactly the opposite.

isa2, you�re right !!! As far as I know, the given construction (consider +sth*sb + adjective) is the right one for me . |

Favourably, for goodness� sake. As Lynne says, it�s how the application is considered.

jana, If you are asking as a lesson, then definitely use "favourably". If, however, you are asking about how to say it in practice, the best choice would be to re-word it, because it doesn �t sound very natural. Bruce |
