The University of Oregon, which accepts over three-quarters of applicants, has a somewhat selective admissions process. If your SAT/ACT scores and GPA fall within the school's average ranges, you have a strong chance of being accepted. However, the University of Oregon also has a holistic admissions process involving other factors beyond your grades and test scores. A strong application essay and a rigorous course schedule can strengthen your application, as can participation in meaningful extracurricular activities. Letters of recommendation are not required, but UOregon will review letters if they are submitted. If circumstances have affected your preparation for college, you may also include an optional statement of explanation. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and test scores are outside University of Oregon's average range.
In the scattergram above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. You can see that the majority of successful applicants had high school grades in the "A" or "B" range, ACT composite scores of 20 or higher, and combined SAT scores of 1000 or better (ERW+M).
