U of O SAT Scores?

Hey guys, just wondering what kind of SAT scores are typically expected for admission to the University of Oregon? Would appreciate any insight, thanks!

The University of Oregon's admitted students generally have competitive SAT scores, but keep in mind that there's a range of scores that get accepted. According to their recent class profiles, the middle 50% of admitted students had SAT scores between 1130 and 1350. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1130, 25% scored above 1350, and the remaining 50% scored within that range.

It's important to note that SAT scores are just one part of your application, and the University of Oregon, like many other colleges, employs a holistic review process when considering applicants. They will also take your high school GPA, class rigor, extracurricular activities, personal essays, and letters of recommendation into account. If you're looking for other tips on how to boost your chances of acceptance at U of O, beyond just your SAT score, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-oregon-essays

To summarize, while having a score near or above the middle 50% range increases your chances, you can still be considered for admission if you fall outside of that range. Focus on presenting a well-rounded application that showcases your strengths and emphasizes your interests, achievements, and how you would be a valuable addition to the university's community.

Finally, it's worth noting that U of O is in fact test-optional, but there are still advantages to submitting test scores for many students.

Good luck with your application to the University of Oregon!
