Musical Achievement/Talent in University Admission

<p>I'll second simba on Vanderbilt.
About Rice-- a small warning. Students' ability to avail themselves of Rice's non-musical opportunities is partly dependent on their teachers. A sizeable number of teachers there are outright opposed to their students double-majoring, taking an academic minor, or anything like that. The specific teachers I'm thinking of are in the string department, but it's something to watch out for. Ask your potential teacher directly about his/her feelings about liberal arts classes.</p>
