Of the schools my daughter applied to:

Definitely cares about grades and is a significant factor in the decision:

Boston University
NYU

As best I can tell appears to be at least a measurable factor in the decision:

Syracuse
Rutgers (I think less so than Syracuse but I put it here because I am less sure that it means nothing like those in the next group)

For all practical purposes, not a factor in the decision:

UNCSA
Juilliard
Ithaca
U of Arts
CCM
CMU
Hartt
DePaul
Purchase

This list is as of a few years ago so it is always possible that it is different today.
