From what I gather having grown up in the Detroit area, having worked with Cranbrook grads in the past, and having worked with many other MFA's of most other programs in the USA, while studying/practicing at Cranbrook, you are going to get a more holistic approach to art and design than other schools can offer. You should already have a very strong formal grasp on the area of you will be applying to, combined with being a great thinker to back up and talk about your work. All of those qualities are going to be pushed to their fullest extent in finding your own voice as an artist. One might compare it to more of the free thinking approach of a school like CalArts. You have better odds of coming out of Cranbrook being a very well rounded artist, rather than having a practical portfolio ready to enter the job market in a particular field, though I suppose it's how you play your cards.
