Ask your violin teacher about good schools. If they can’t give you any suggestions or can’t tell you whether you might be competitive at places like USC, then probably either you aren’t or you need a new teacher. [Interpretation: If a teacher isn’t aware of appropriate music schools for a variety of levels of students, then they probably have little experience preparing students for music school: time to get a new teacher. The range of teachers is huge and a teacher that might be excellent with 13-year-olds might be clueless about preparing repertoire to the level necessary for a good music school.]
