Oregon State admitted 77.3% of applicants for the Class of 2028, reflecting a steady decline in acceptance rates as application volume grows. Although Class of 2030 figures are not out yet, recent cycles show massive growth from 14,890 applications for the Class of 2022 to 30,293 for the Class of 2028. This surging interest has driven the acceptance rate down from a peak of 89.1% for the Class of 2025.

Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2028)

The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1140–1400 (EBRW 580–700, Math 560–700)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 24–31

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

Oregon State Yield Rate

Of the 23,418 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 4,778 enrolled, a yield rate of 20.4%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2028	23,418	4,778	20.4%
2027	22,886	4,689	20.5%
2026	21,169	4,513	21.3%
2025	20,680	3,965	19.2%
2024	14,631	3,574	24.4%
2023	13,196	3,423	25.9%
2022	12,006	3,674	30.6%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at Oregon State has sat between 77.3%–82.5%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.

What This Means for Your Application

• Prepare strong test scores: The middle fifty percent of admitted students had SAT results between 1140 and 1400 or ACT composites between 24 and 31.
• Anticipate growing applicant pools: The university received 30,293 applications for the Class of 2028 compared to just 17,500 for the Class of 2024.
• Expect dropping admit rates: The overall acceptance rate has fallen steadily from 89.1% for the Class of 2025 down to 77.3% for the Class of 2028.
• Recognize low yield rates: Even with 23,418 admitted students for the Class of 2028, only 4,778 chose to enroll for a yield rate of 20.4%.
