Oops - almost forgot part 2 of your question:
If academics are important to you, then stand-alones RISD Pratt and MICA all tend to have a decent academic side to them. Parsons has the New School and even requires you to take at least some academic courses over there. This was an issue for us as well when my oldest was applying to art school. Others might be able to weigh in as well. RISD allows you to take courses at Brown and MICA has something going with JHU. You’ll need to check on how easy it is to cross register. I know some who have done it, but others say it’s not easy.
CMU obviously has a great school of art in a university setting so if that place appeals to you, check it out. Test scores and GPA will be relatively important there as well.
If you will be coming in with a bunch of AP’s you might check to see which stand-alones accept them. No school of art - university setting or otherwise - is likely to accept AP Studio, although pretty much all of them say they want to see that on your transcript, if your school offers it. If you are applying to a university with an art/design school (such as UMich/Stamps) then you can probably expect to have all the standard academic AP scores accepted, assuming they clear the cut off.
