an intense pre-professional training, with a rigorous Liberal-Arts (ciriculum), or courses. I was wondering about some of the top and whether a stellar SAT score could outweigh a relatively low overall GPA? I was also wondering about which schools would or might give more consideration to my talent over my academic record, if my talent proves to be better.

In the top music schools, the audition outweighs all other items. Nail your audition and your GPA will not be a factor and high SAT will be a bonus.

What exactly is your talent?! Do you dance? Sing? Act? Do you have any previous training? In any case, not mentioned yet, are NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and CAL-Arts in California. The State University of New York (SUNY) at Purchase is also a good bet. BTW, you might want to learn how to spell curriculum before submitting your admissions essay. In general, if you want a rigorous liberal arts education, you should apply to the Seven Sisters (Vassar, Wellesley, Barnard/Columbia, Radcliffe/Harvard, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Bryn Mawr), or to the Ivy League "pocket schools": Amherst, Williams, Middlebury, etc. You would need excellent SAT scores in order to make up for a shabby GPA, since competition to these schools is tough. The liberal arts education at places like Juilliard, or the Manhattan School of Music, is definitely not top-tier.

julliard!! they're expensive and require an audition that has to be very impressive, usually a good background in your performance area is almost required as well. ive also heard of some people getting into berkly on mediocre grades but you have to be outstanding in a performance. some of the private colleges like DU's lamont school of music i have heard may let you in in your circumstances but again audition and the main thing they asked me was about money. so your local private university may have be a possibility to.

Yes to Julliard. Also, University of California at Irvine is supposed to be a good one.
