Congrats on the accpetances! I got into mt. royal and hoffberger at MICA a few years back, and really wanted to go, but didn't get offered any funding. If I were you I'd go to MICA, and ask them for more money, seems like the most well rounded program of the three, especially if you're a painter. I have friends in NYC who went to SAIC, and they all say it's good but too much of a factory, the classes are huge and the facilities and personal attention that they give you at MICA are way better. Just my two cents
