Brandeis University
I'm in the BA program, but they offer an MFA in Acting. Admission is based at least partially on an audition, and I believe it takes 3 years to complete.

I would have to second Brandeis. The head of our theatre department at my school got his MFA there. He is EXCELLENT!!
The only downfall is that they accept a very, and I mean VERY small amount into the program. (at least, that's what he told me)

Yale School of Drama (3 years - accepts 16 a class)
NYU Graduate Drama (3 years - accepts 18 a class)
USD/Old Globe Graduate Acting (2 years - accepts 7 a class)
American Conservatory Theater (3 years - accepts 17 a class)
UC Irvine Graduate Acting (3 years)
New School for Drama (3 years)
Pace University Actors Studio (3 years - accepts a class)
Many people also attend Julliard after getting a degree which requires a four year full-time residency, I believe they admit 20 to a class.

I don't know who told you there were only a handful of good MFA schools, but they were dead wrong. There are probably more good MFAs than there are quality BFAs. A few of the good ones that have yet to be mentioned are ...
UC San Diego
University of Delaware
Brown University/Trinity Rep
University of Indiana
National Theatre Conservatory, Denver
Harvard Institute for Advanced Theatre Training
Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Rutgers University/Mason Gross School of the Arts
University of Washington
