Can anyone give me some suggestions between SAIC Post-Bacc Painting and Cranbrook MFA Painting? Cranbrook offered an MFA program but their painting program isn't very strong (Ranked 13 by US. NEWS), SAIC offered a Post-Bacc but they have a much stronger painting program, and I will need to apply again the end of this year for their MFA program or other MFA painting programs. I personally prefer the location of Chicago and I think I slightly prefer SAIC's style as Cranbrook is a totally "work on your own, critic by your classmates" system. I feel a curriculum offers more resources from various professors that are easier to reach then dig on your own. If I choose SAIC Post-Bacc I will need to take all the risks that if I am not able to get into their MFA program or any other painting programs for FALL 2019.....but I really want to go to a very strong painting MFA program since the tuitions are so expensive anyway..... Please give me some suggestions! Thanks!
