What are some good music schools in Michigan?

Chances of acceptance to a music school if GPA is low?

  • I'm a junior in high school looking at colleges for piano performance. I've already visited a couple of universities and I’ve met with piano professors to get more information about the details of the application process. A growing concern I have is my academic standing. I take rigorous courses, but have an unweighted GPA of about 3.4 and I'm worried that won't cut it for some of the schools I'm interested in. I’ve been told that it may have little to no affect on the decision, and also that music applicants are often considered “separately, but equally,” to the rest of the applicant pool. I've included a variety of schools I'm considering applying to next year. If you have specific information on ANY school’s application process, can attach a link to another helpful thread/forum/website, or can share experiences you've had, I'd appreciate it!

    Your GPA is a little on the low side for Indiana, but not out of range. Your audition will be more important than your GPA.

3.4 is a fine GPA, it won't get you into Harvard, but for music it should be fine. Most college websites have their minimum GPA requirement is posted on their admissions page, so I would try that
