Especially without an MA in the field you want the PhD in, you’ll be at a bit of a disadvantage so I recommend giving yourself options. Since you are looking to start in Fall 2019, you have a lot of time left to do more research on compatible programs.

Well, very few people have an MA in this field. People typically come from outside fields into this field. I've also worked in the field for 14 years, and I have an MFA in another field. I will look at other programs though. But this kind of only all works if I can get into this one program, because of the nature of how all the moving parts work. However, I think, based on my collaborators, that I have a very good shot at getting accepted.
Thank you for your feedback.
