If you are interested in a bachelor's degree, you need to have taken the SAT to attend any of the schools in NY (Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music and Mannes School of Music to name the most prestigious in that city). I would recommend that you go that route actually, as a Bachelor of Arts in Music or a Bachelor of Music is useful in other aspects. If you care to acquire a degree in something else later in life for example, a conservatory diploma or a performer's certificate is worthless, and not much less expensive than acquiring a Bachelor's. Also, typically the academic work required to obtain a Bachelor's degree at one of those schools is usually not much more than that for a diploma. If you need time to work on the academic areas before taking the exam, you can usually enroll in a music diploma program, take the test once you're already a student, and later begin the Bachelor's degree core curriculum. International students at the school I attended, the Boston Conservatory, often went this route.
