This might depend on the country and discipline. In the Humanities, it’s expected in Europe, as far as I know, to contact the person you want to do your PhD with. But I don’t know if it’s as common in North America.https://twitter.com/OG_Nancy/status/1213143443578511362 …
Replying to @AdmiralHip
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.
