ELAT Cambridge 2026

Hi there, I just wanted to ask approximately how long does it take for Cambridge (I applied to Selwyn College) to tell you if you have been shortlisted, so know if your doing the ELAT. Also, if you have been shortlisted, does that mean you have an interview, or will i be sent another email in mid november?

Since the ELAT this year is on the 18th of November, I'm assuming you'll have to find out their interview decision before that date in November. You'll only have to do it if you get offered to interview though.

hey, have you received any email from selwyn regarding when the interview dates would be, once its offered? i have not received emails from them since the acknowledgement of the MyCambridge application, but my friends from other colleges (emma + Cauis) have received the dates of the interviews if they get it. I just wanna confirm if its a Selwyn thing or a personal issue?

Hi I did get emails sent about the interview on Wednesday with my confirmation of my admissions test. Mine is on the 11th of December. It might vary for different subjects though
