I am just about to finish my master’s degree. Unfortunately, the relationship with my advisor has turned out to be difficult, and he has made it clear he won't be giving me a reference letter.
The primary reason being I decided not to do a PhD with him.
My question is if I apply to PhD programs without his recommendation letter, would it raise questions? My stats are fine. In my MS, I have a 3.9 GPA, 5 publications and 3 talks, one of which won best paper. I am mainly worried about the lack of a reference letter from a research advisor. If it helps, two of the post-doctoral fellows that I worked with during my master's can provide me with a letter.
EDIT: I am interested in a PhD (machine learning) in a different area than I did my MS in (biomedical imaging).
