Suggestions for grad. schools, and what to do in college?

Yes, I know the question about which grad. schools has been asked dozens of times - but I'm in a weird situation. I'm a freshman in college, pursuing a Clarinet Performance and Mathematics (Actuarial Science) degree, and if I follow the plan I made, I should graduate in four years. I'm *considering*, when I go on to grad. school, to at least pursue a masters (the performance one screams "doctorate," though...) in both majors.

(I wonder if I'm crazy... but I still have three years, and I feel that the major with which I continue in grad. school I will have chosen by the time I've graduated - but I have doubts that I'm going to go continue on with both in grad. school.)

Anyway, if I do decide to pursue both, I will probably have to look into a state university for grad. school. USC, and University of Arizona come to mind (though, it's extremely competitive to get into both). What others would all of you recommend? I was considering University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, but Burt Hara's leaving after this year.

Also, how should I go about searching for opportunities in college (internships, any experience, etc.) with the clarinet side of things - besides giving private lessons?
