Transferring to art schools...

Hi,
I am compiling my schools to transfer to for fall 2013.
I’m looking for larger universities with strong art programs, and that have a loose curriculum so I can take courses in graphic design, painting&drawing, and printmaking. I am more interested in a BA program than a BFA program that wayI can possibly double major or at least minor in another subject area. However, I’m also applying to a couple of art schools just to have the option in case I do want that.

I have a very strong portfolio and I’m mostly relying on that because my stats aren’t stellar. In high school I had a 3.74 W gpa and a 3.4 UW gpa and a 1940-1980 (in one sitting or superscored) SAT. So far in college I think I can pass this semester with a 3.5 gpa or higher.

Here’s my list:
SAIC
RISD
UT Austin
UCLA
University of Michigan
USC
U of A

USC, University of Michigan and UCLA are my top choices right now.
I’m just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions that fit the profile for what I’m looking for.

Thanks!
