Admissions Overview

The University of Louisville maintains an open admission policy with an 81.54% acceptance rate. This means most students who apply and meet basic requirements will gain entry. Middle 50% SAT scores range from 1070 to 1270, with an average of 1170. The ACT average sits at 23. These stats suggest the university welcomes a broad range of academic backgrounds rather than competing for only top performers.

The school particularly values applicants interested in healthcare, given its strong medical programs, or those who want to be part of a active athletic culture anchored by Division I basketball.
