Between: New York School of Visual Arts (SVA), Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), and Ringling College of Art and Design (RCAD). I'd appreciate well thought out recommendations please!

Thank you both!
I know the statistics of all three schools, i'm just looking for some outside perspective.
I actually plan on majoring in graphic design.

Well, each has its own strengths.
SCAD graduates often have an easier time moving into mainstream employment because of SCAD's emphasis on internships and engagement with businesses while still an undergrad.
Ringling is more focused on computer animation, and has the best program in that respect.
SVA sees SCAD's programs as too commercial and business-oriented, to the detriment of freedom and innovation in design. I happen to think that SVA is the best of the three for the widest variety of fields, including photography, film, and fine arts. And its alumni are certainly the most distinguished.

SCAD is always top of the list for art schools and you might actually be able to find a job when you're done. If you can afford to pay the price; it's that place to go. Plus Savannah is great.

You don't say what art discipline you want to pursue. Contact all three of the schools and ask them for a list of the companies who have recently hired graduates.
Then contact a few companies you would like to work for and talk to their human resources department. Ask them whose graduates they have hired recently and who they like to see.
