Are there any advertising majors on this board? I need some advice on picking a solitary school to strive to go to. So far I am looking at the curriculums of Ringling, SVA, ACCD, RISD, CalArts, and MCAD. I really don't have a favorite between an of them, and from a lot of time spent lurking on this board, I've learned that if you get accepted into one school, you'll most likely be accepted into another. I don't really have a top choice if it comes down to that for me.. The Ringling Advertising Design major seems very interesting, but it's a new major they're offering as of this year, so I don't know if that's a good idea. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to find a school that's 80% art, 20% business. I really would like to learn about the business behind advertising, so I don't get screwed over or if I want to start my own agency. =)
I really don't know what I should be looking for in a school. =( My favorite so far is SVA, their curriculum seems to cover everything, as well as the ability to choose your own classes.

Any advice on what I should be analyzing when choosing an art school? Also, any suggestions on good advertising design schools?
