Oregon / Interview
The Oregon interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered , University of Oregon does not conduct admissions interviews for undergraduate applicants.
How to prepare for Oregon
- Visit campus or attend a virtual information session to demonstrate genuine interest, as UO does track demonstrated interest in some contexts.
- Use the optional essay to convey your personality, specific interests, and why UO is a strong fit , this is your primary voice in the application beyond grades and test scores.
- If applying to the Clark Honors College or a competitive major, take extra care with any supplemental materials those programs require, as standards differ from general admission.
- Connect directly with your regional admissions counselor via email or a campus event , personal outreach can help clarify fit and shows initiative.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
