University of Oregon Early Action Class of 2030 Official Thread

Anyone hear?

Sadly no. Hopefully next week.

has anyone been accepted? Last year it seemed like people already had acceptances by this time.

I don’t think so. We were hoping too. Last two years they started around October 13.

It’s getting late. Anyone hear?

Late? I’d heard UO was moving to answer post Nov 1, but having a senior in a Portland area high school I don’t know a single kid who has even worried a moment about hearing from UO. It’s early here. School has been in session for only a month. Most West Coast high schoolers don’t submit anything until today-Nov 30. OrSU has been admitting some kids, but not a lot yet.

Just out of curiosity, when do the highschools in the Pacific North West start? In SoCal most are 3rd week of August now. It used to be after labor day, but with sports starting early, many schools have moved the date back.

High school starts just after labor day, but UO and OSU don’t start until Sept 24-29th. It’s hard for me to think a school which has barely matriculated its current class is late on decisions to the next one. Especially one like UO where the EA means almost zero in admission or scholarship. Maybe someone wants to know they are in before they apply for Stamps, but honestly if you are applying for Stamps you will get into UO.

Makes sense. Some counselors (ours included) advise students to apply to at least one rolling school. From our daughter’s list they specifically encouraged her to apply to Oregon early because they have been getting decisions out in October, and it would allow her to drop another “likely” school from her list once she knew she was in. I assume that’s why others are asking too.

My now second-year Duck heard in mid-October (on his birthday actually). I have a second applying (mostly to taunt his brother) but, like others, have heard nothing.

To those of you wondering, my DS could not be happier. He loves the school, has great friends and Eugene is fantastic.

This makes sense. I think schools are starting to realize that too and the rolling admissions becomes less of a bang for their buck and just more work than batching decisions. The trends definitely seem to be kids applying to more and more schools in their counselor driven categories of reach, likely, etc
 Rather than just 1 likely because hey its likely :slight_smile:

Anyone know anything about release of some decisions? I called Oregon admissions 2 times, and it rolled to voicemail. Not a great look for the admissions office. They need to have someone answer the phone.

Try emailing your admissions counselor. They were really helpful last year.

I haven’t heard of a UO decision yet, but my 26 kid did not apply to UO and it’s a high admit school so it wouldn’t necessarily be news - it would be news if they denied someone. I can only say I haven’t had a single convo with a parent who is at all anxious to hear from out here. People are barely starting college campus visits.

If your call to admissions was to ask when admissions are coming out I can appreciate their roll to voicemail :slight_smile: :rofl:

Hi my ‘21 and ‘23both applied EO to U of O, both right before deadline and both had received acceptances by week 1-2 of November (with 10-14 days of submission). Feels likes things a bit behind this year?

yup. seems that way for sure!

Anyone heard from UofO yet? I’m hoping my ‘26 kid will hear this week.
