What University of Oregon actually reads

Colleges publish which parts of an application they weigh. It is the most useful thing they say about admissions and almost nobody reads it, because knowing that an essay is very important here and class rank is not considered changes where the work should go.

  • Very important

    The parts of an application this school weighs most heavily.

    • Grades
    • Course rigor
    • Essay
  • Considered

    Looked at, but not decisive on its own.

    • Class rank
    • Test scores
    • Recommendations
    • Work experience
  • Not considered

    Reported as playing no part in the decision.

    • Legacy

From the federal IPEDS admissions survey, 2024. It records whether University of Oregon considers each factor, but not how heavily, and it does not ask about extracurriculars, character, or demonstrated interest. Where a school publishes its Common Data Set we use that instead.
