I did a College Board search for you based on your stats and came up with this list of Midwestern colleges, all of which accept half or more of their students with stats like yours. Please keep in mind that this means that, at some of these colleges, you'd be considered an outstanding applicant (so they're safety schools), while at others, like Indiana University or the University of Wisconsin-Madison, you'd be considered acceptable but not a priority (so they're reach schools). The vast majority, however, are "match" schools for you. You can visit the college profiles at CollegeBoard.com to see exactly where you match up for them. Of course, please remember that some state universities expect higher GPAs from out-of-state applicants, and don't forget all of the other factors involved. :) But hopefully, if your whole application will be as strong as you expect, all of these would be within reach.

Question: What is a good school to attend for a Masters in Design?
I am looking for more general design; however my BFA is in Interior Design. I'm very much interested in Human Ecology, and the way people interact with their surroundings.

Since you have a strong interest in Human Ecology, take a look at Cornell University College of Human Ecology. You can check the first link below to go to the site. Back to your original question about a Master's in Design. You could go for a Master's in Graphics Design, Web Design, Design Methods, or stick with Interior Design which you could complete in the shortest period of time. The following are good schools for Interior Design (and some other designs too): Academy of Art University Auburn University Boston Architectural College Corcoran College of Art and Design Eastern Michigan University Florida State University

I found several schools that are worth you checking out. Look for majors in Ceramic Sciences/Engineering, Materials Engineering, Materials Science, Plastics, Polymer/Plastics Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, MI Ferris State University Big Rapids, MI Michigan State University East Lansing, MI Michigan Technological University Houghton, MI University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Obviously the engineering programs at MSU and UofM are considered to be the premier programs. Materials engineering is a superb way to combine your interest in ceramics and engineering into a worthwhile career with a great and growing future. However, check out all five. You can google them to find their home pages. There may be something about any of them that really meets your interests.
