The "fit" you get for a school will depend on your preferences for student population, geographic location, and financial aid.

However, for music school, I would say almost everything else is secondary to establishing a great rapport with your future private instructor, and knowing that they believe in you and will help you plan a strategy to learn the necessary skills to start a career once you graduate (or help you network and move to the next step if graduate study is necessary).

I've had students in the past make a big deal out of attending a "name" school without really thinking about how their private lessons would work out. Some were accepted simply because they could pay full tuition (out-of-state especially) and were assigned to a graduate student for instruction instead of the actual professor(s).
