I went to Louisville and never took the SAT. I guess they use a comparative score?
 
Also, there are some schools that are more oriented toward the ACT such as the University of Miami in Florida.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
 
UofL and UK are ranked at 83 with some other colleges.

Not a bad neighborhood.

I think the US News & World Report has UofL at 161 and UK at 130. Still a pretty good neighborhood even though the other ACC schools are within teethe 100.
That ranking, used a lot by the media, uses multiple statistics, including research, graduation rates, etc. The latter hurts UofL as the University is still a resource(commuter college) to many working in the Louisville area who don't finish in 4/5 years.

The good news is that the overall academic rep has been trending up the last decade. Thank you President Ramsey.
