i work in a research lab with co-PIs, one of which has a PhD in CJ (who I have worked the most directly with) and the other has a PhD in experimental psych (worked directly with as well, but wasn’t my direct supervisor). i’m applying to clinical psych PhD’s, any direction you would lean?

My PhD recommendations are from: My department head, the professor who taught most of my master’s coursework, and the PI (exterior) who is mentoring my thesis.

Almost all psychology classes at my university are taught by phd graduate students. I’ve had a class with one professor who I can ask, and I’m in a research lab and can ask my PI. For my third letter, I’ve had several graduate student instructors who know me well, both in the classroom, and I’m also working with some of them in research settings. but I’ve heard letters from graduate students aren’t as strong. I also have professors in other departments who I feel can speak for me in a letter, but they aren’t in psychology. What would you recommend doing in this situation?

would an "instuctor" fall into this category? ie they have a masters degree so they don't have the title of professor at my school, but I took several of their classes.

Can I still get into grad school without a letter of recommendation?

This is so helpful! It’s confusing because it can be so different based on stage of training (like for internship you’ll ask your main professor advisor AND a supervisor)! You’re such a great resource for incoming students 🥰
