<p>I got accepted to more than 5 schools including Parsons, Pratt, MassArt and Emily Carr but my top choices right now are MICA and SVA. I'm planning to take Advertising / Graphic Design and I'm coming in as undergraduate freshman. I need to make my decision very soon and I'm really confused which one should I go to. MICA / SVA?! MICA has a higher ranking but SVA seems to have a more useful foundation year program. In addition, MICA is in Baltimore and I heard it's not really safe there, but so does New York, right? Can someone please give me some advice or if you know anything, please tell! Really need some help here.</p>
@tantantan13 what did you ultimately decide? Did you visit both schools? What led to your decision? How is foundation year going? My daughter will soon be in a similar boat - also graphic design. We do plan to visit everyone for their Open House/Accepted Students which hopefully should help her make a good decision.
