Best colleges for acting or musical theater?

I don't know if I want to go to college to major in acting or musical theater. I would really like to go to New York and maybe LA, California. I need recommended schools and help & reviews. I'm thinking about Julliard, NYU's Tisch, and maybe even Carnegie Mellon (i know that's not in NY or CA). Reviews? Tips? Which are really hard? Other schools? Thank You.
