Looking for DMA programs

I am currently in the process of applying for DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) programs across the country, and am stressing out a little about it. It is a big decision, and the application fees add up so I am trying to find good schools where I can study with the professor I want, but that I also feel like I have a strong chance of getting accepted into. My current top choices are (in no particular order):

Yale University

Princeton University (technically a Ph.D. degree, but it is basically the same thing as the DMA from the other schools)

The Juilliard School

University of Southern California: Thornton School of Music

University of Indiana: Jacobs School of Music

Cost is a large factor of my decisions. I have had to take out a large number of loans for my MM degree, and need to find a place where the tuition is either covered by being accepted into the program, or where I can get a fellowship to cover the costs. (I am still looking to see what USC offers, but all of the others on my list fall into either of those categories.)

I am looking for schools with strong composition programs, and where I could explore writing for both large ensemble settings, as well as electroacoustic setups. If you have any thoughts on these schools, or know of others that are worth checking out, I would love to hear about them via my CONTACT page.
