Music School decision Help.

[Jeffrey0529]

I am going to apply Music graduate school this year. Major Piano performance. But hard to decide which school I should apply.

If I have to get rid of four or five, which one should I remove of the list? Which school is most competitive, difficult to get in to? Or any recommend?

These are the list of school I am considering. 

 

1. Colburn Conservatory

2. University of Cincinnati

3. Rice University

4. University of Texas Austin

5. Johns Hopkins (Peobody)

6. University of Iowa

7. Ohio state University

8. Eastman School of Music

9. Arizona State University

10. Michigan State University

 

Please answer it for me.
