To get accepted into NYU for a BFA in studio art (or any other talent area) the weight of your portfolio will equal the weight of your academics. Academics is really a limited way of saying it. Under that umbrella will be your gpa, test scores, essays and recommendations–all the criteria reviewed by admissions.

CMU is known to weigh your portfolio more than your academic record.

I believe USC is more like NYU in terms of admissions, but I would check on that.
