UofM SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 990–1200 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)

• 75th Percentile: Around 1200, meaning top-performing applicants often score at or above this threshold

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to the University of Memphis due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• UofM evaluates scores as part of a holistic review, considering them alongside GPA and other academic achievements rather than as strict cutoffs.
• The University of Memphis does practice superscoring for SAT, combining the highest section scores from multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of 1100 or higher to be competitive for admission to UofM, especially for merit-based scholarships.
