I think I did contact everyone, but I had my parents (both PhDs) to recommend that to me; I know a lot of people who didn't contact potential advisors and it was fine.

I didn’t contacted anyone I wanted to work with. Found out after I applied, the people I wanted to work with were not accepting students or retiring within the year. Contacting them would have saved me time & money.

I’m in the US. My advisors never told me to contact the people I wanted to work with.
