First time posting, hope it's a useful question for many.
I know that some schools (ie HMS) says they expected LOR from all PIs that you 've done research with.
I have jumped around between two labs the first two years and settled in a lab that I'm pretty dedicated to now (and a few scholarship from here).
While I should be able to get a letter from the previous PI, I don't imagine it'll be VERY strong. The things is my only publication (6 or 7th author) was from his lab.
But I have no intention of continuing with that field of research; rather I'm all about (in my essays) the field of research in my current lab for the future.
Can I get away without my previous' PI's letter or should I include my old PI's letter even though I don't research there anymore?
I also don't have a humanities letter.... too much science for me....
