Hi! I'm new here, so please excuse any formatting errors etc.
I'm currently in a Writing MFA program (concentrating in Nonfiction), due to graduate in spring of 2020, hoping to then enter a PhD program that fall. I'm looking at programs in English and Comp Lit, preferably ones that also offer concentrations in Media and Cultural Studies. I'm a little concerned that I'll be applying with an MFA instead of an MA — do you guys have any views on this? Will it help or hurt me? For what it's worth, the program I'm in is a highly ranked one.
Thank you in advance for your help! I lurked this forum a lot when applying for my MFA and I'm excited to continue lurking (lol) as I begin my PhD journey.
 
Edit: Also! Thoughts on applying to different programs at the same school? For example, American Studies and Comp Lit at the same school. Would this be noticed and work against me?
