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!

• Answer:

  A 3.4 is not low at all. A GPA of 3.0 Israel better looks good on a college application. A lot of people have gotten into good colleges with GPAs lower than that.
