I put down Raven Leilani as one of my influences as well! Luster rocked my shit.

It's weird that page numbers are generally expected and yet I've never seen any program actually specify that they expect them. Like, 12-pt font and double-spacing always come up, but never page numbers.

Not liking the faculty's work doesn't necessarily mean that you won't learn anything of value from the professors. After all, they were offered positions at renowned MFA programs, and they (along with the alumni) likely all have work that has appeared in publications of genuine esteem. I wouldn't recommend turning down a program just because the faculty's work doesn't align with your taste.

submitted my first application earlier this week (cornell). only nine more to go 😅 good luck all!
