While 70% is better than Kansas State's 98.9%, it's nowhere near the same as most of the ACC.

While ACC rates (27-58%, if you drop the highest and lowest) may seem high, keep in mind that this is after some self-selection on the part of the students. By this, I mean that there are students that know that they have no shot at getting into some these schools. They therefore choose not to apply to those schools. For example, my son was shocked to find that many of his peers were wait-listed at GA Tech, some were even offered a 1-year deferred admission. These kids are bright students and had GA Tech at the top of their list.

I suspect that Louisville doesn't pose the same self-selection hurdle to KY students. Syracuse's relaxation of admissions criteria is something that I hope to see reversed so that it climbs to at least the middle of the pack in the ACC.

Example: School (admittance rate) = Mid 50% ACT score range... 
Louisville (75%) = 21-28

NC State (54%) = 23-28
Syracuse (49%) = 23-28
FSU (58%) = 25-28
VPI (67% = 25-29
Clemson (58%) = 26-30
Pittsburgh (58%) = 26-31
UNC (31%) = 27-31
Wake Forest (40%) = 27-31
GA Tech (52%) = 28-32
Miami (38%) = 28-32
UVA (27%) = 28-32
BC (28%) = 29-32
Duke (11%) = 30-34
