<p>Me and a friend from the same university have been doing the application process together, finding schools etc for math phd. We are applying to mostly the same programs with the exception of 1 or 2.</p>
<p>Yesterday (friday) at a department party we were talking to some professors and they told us that the overlap between the places we are applying should be minimal because they usually dont accept 2 students coming from the same university.</p>
<p>To be honest it makes sense, but it worries me immensely...</p>
<p>Is there some kind of truth to this?</p>
