Find Student Loan Consolidation

I’m looking into consolidating my federal loans. If I submit an application to find out if I am approved, I will have to give the ok before the consolidation goes through, correct? I just want to make sure that by submitting this application they won’t automatically approve me and then I’ll be screwed if the interest rate sucks. I would just call the company, but I am at work right now and can’t use the phone. Any ideas? I’m going through citibank.
