• Score Range: 1110–1310 (based on recent data for the middle 50% of admitted students)

• 75th Percentile: Around 1310, meaning top-performing applicants often score at or above this threshold

Key Points:

• SAT/ACT scores are optional for admission to the University of Oregon, as UO has adopted a test-optional policy for most applicants.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review, alongside GPA, coursework rigor, and other achievements.
• The University of Oregon does practice superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered to demonstrate academic strength, especially for test-optional applicants.
• For a competitive edge, prospective UO students should aim for SAT scores near or above the 75th percentile (1310) to strengthen their application.
