<p>To the OP-- the US educational system is very different than it is in Asia. We have late-bloomers, under-achievers, smart but learning disabled, etc. All of these types of students can go to college here.... if they've got the drive and the determination and also.... the flexibility.</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters who suggest a community college for now. I suspect a great discrepancy between your SAT scores and your actual academic ability, and so I think you need to see the next year as a way to invest in yourself.... improve your language skills, focus on study skills and ways to compensate for the ADHD, expand your knowledge about college options in the US beyond the handful of schools you've mentioned already. Taking a year of your life to invest in these areas will pay off tremendously for you down the road.</p>
<p>I agree that randomly selecting a four year program without researching the social aspects might be a problem.... you may not care right now if there are any foreign students, or even any Asian students, but four years is a long time. You will give yourself the best shot at succeeding at college if you take a year to invest in yourself and research all your options.</p>

<p>I know many professional musicians who got their required college coursework done at community colleges. If you find one that is in a city that has a good music program in the university, many times the private teaching faculty is the same. For instance, in San Francisco, many of the private instructors at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music also teach at San Francisco State, and others at SF City College. Due to the nature of the business of music, many fine musicians have several studios. I would ask your current piano teacher for recommendations of music conservatories with good piano faculty, and see if there is crossover between the faculty there and at a community college.
You can take your basic math and writing courses, get music theory and ear training too, while taking private lessons, with the goal of transferring in a year or two. It is more important to find a great teacher than it is to find a particular college.</p>
