<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I’m a violinist, but I’m primarily interested in either composition or musicology/music history so my college list includes most of the ivies, as well as Stanford, Chicago, Swarthmore and a few others. However–though I know they generally excel in almost all academic areas–I haven’t been able to get a sense of specifics about their music programs. I know Yale is known for music, but it that mostly in the graduate school? I’m also particularly curious about Penn and Columbia; are music students overshadowed by their close proximity to conservatories, or is that just an extra resource? I may attempt to pursue a double major as well (undecided as to what field), so which schools would facilitate that the most?</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice!</p>
