Those aren't exactly high-end music schools. Think about where a clarinet degree from a lesser-known school will get you on payday at a job somewhere. It may not be worth the free tuition.
A clarinet degree from a high-end music school isn't going to get you anything more on payday. Playing the clarinet really well and being an excellent colleague, however, might, and one can achieve these things attending any number of schools.
If money is a concern, for an undergraduate degree, it's a much better option to go to a less high-end school on a scholarship: perhaps the OP works hard, improves under the guidance of his or her teacher, and gets into an elite conservatory/music school for graduate school, or perhaps the OP realizes that he or she loves music, would like to play for fun, but really wants to become an engineer or something. State schools allow students these various academic paths while keeping the tuition and fees comparatively low (and, in many cases, they have fantastic clarinet teachers). High-end, schools, such as conservatories, by contrast, lock students into a career path and, in many cases, load them up with debt that will never be paid off on a musician salary.
