@haveaheart‌ you do have great ECs, but you need to get the SAT up to be competitive at NYU (at least to a 1200). My son just got through applying for music business/music industry programs, so I know a bit about the programs. It really depends on the vibe you are seeking but the following schools have prominent music industry programs you should check out: Drexel, Northeastern, USC, U of Miami, Syracuse (Bandier Program), Belmont, Middle Tenn State (yeah I know but look it up!!), Loyola U - New Orleans. Miami, USC, and NYU are at the top of the competitive heap, with Northeastern, Bandier and Belmont at the next tier. American has a business and entertainment major, but also has a good audio technology dept, U of Georgia has a Music Industry Certificate in its business program (Athens is one of the best music towns in the country). If you are more interested in the technology side, like recording and sound, there is a whole other set of schools to consider.

All of the programs have their own pluses and minuses. I would encourage you to do your research and visit schools you like, and meet with the program directors to really get a feel - that was the best thing my S did to really understand the programs. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. My son is still deciding on his acceptances, and we are going back to his top 3 in two weeks to figure it out. Good luck!!
