Of the 35,337 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 5,087 enrolled, a yield rate of 14.4%.[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 | 35,337 | 5,087 | 14.4% |
| 2027 | 33,532 | 5,032 | 15.0% |

What to Expect for the Class of 2030
Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at University of Oregon has sat between 85.1%–88.3%.
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.
