I am interested in applying to the handful of 3-year graphic design MFA programs (Yale, RISD, CalArts) for people without undergraduate degrees in graphic design. I have two years before graduating from my undergraduate programs, so I figure that I have some time to refine and develop skills outside my non-BFA programs as well as build a portfolio.

I would like to look at portfolios of people accepted to these programs, but designers don't exactly advertise that sort of thing, so I'm having trouble locating examples. If forum members can help me find designers who have done this, or who are in such programs themselves, I would appreciate it a lot. Some programs, like RISD, seems pretty open to different kind of degree holders and artistic interests, while CalArts seems to want only those who gained a BFA in studio arts but not graphic design.

I'd like to know if I have a chance, and I'd like to develop a feeling for the direction of each program so I can tailor my practice accordingly.

thanks

I visited U of Michigan, they seemed to have a really good oncoming student package (iPad/ipod touch/macbook pro) and program. They are 3 years and really seemed to have an interdisciplinary focus and some really cool MFA/MSI or MFA/MBA dual degree programs.
