Schools with good music performance programs?

<p>I am in high school and am starting to look to looks at colleges I'd like to apply to. I would really love to double major. I want one of my majors to be music performance, but I have no idea what schools have good programs for what I'd like to do. My other major would probably end up being anthropology or international/global studies. I've heard that USC's Thorton is outstanding, but I have no idea how competitive the admissions are. Does anyone know something about this? I play the violin, so of course I'd like to attend somewhere that has a great orchestra, string ensembles, and string teachers. I know there are a bunch of colleges with great music programs, I just have no idea where to start looking. does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to attend a larger university or college, prefferably in an urban area. There is a possibility that I might pursue my master's after being an undergrad as well.</p>
