Editor's notes
- Your real deadline is Nov. 1, not July 1. Memphis only considers fully admitted students for scholarships, awards them the December before you start, and sets a Dec. 1 priority date. Apply early in senior year with your test score ready.
- Take the ACT or SAT. Memphis requires a score from every first-year applicant and uses the subscores to place you in classes, so a better math or English subscore can save you a remedial course.
