Also, I agree that Harvard professors are really nice and polite. I got a reply twice from a professor. even though he said they are encouraged not to have a conversation with applicants to give an even opportunity to everyone, he was very kind and wrote a very detailed long email. I appreciate that.
Thank you, Jessica. It is a bit scary to hear that your friend could not get accepted to PhD programs. It was great advice to apply to schools that are not high-ranked. I am getting my all recommendation letters from professors in my department. Is it a red flag? I think you mentioned in the video that you got your LORs from professors in different programs and classes. Good luck to everyone with their PhD application.
I think it is fine that your recommendation letters are from the same department if they speak to different strengths (or as long as they don't say the exact same thing in all letters).

I'm glad they replied! Professors everyone are generally very nice and love talking to students, that's why they are in academia.
