Boy, are you guys midwesterners or what? We have lots of fine institutions on the east coast, too. But do you want to be a professional musician, or just major in something fun and interesting along the way to medical school? If you're looking for the latter, you need to choose a competitive undergrad program for getting into med school, and maybe do a general music major, as is offered at U.Va. That wouldn't necessarily consume all your time, and you can fit in your pre-med requirements as well.
Good luck to you...20-some years ago, I tried to do the same thing, only to be told by the music dept. that I didn't have enough piano background to take the entry-level theory, so I'd be looking at 5 yrs for a music major. Changed to biology, and now I'm practicing medicine and wishing I had more musical background and opportunities!
