I would hugely appreciate it if anyone could give me a little advice about my PhD application! I'm new to all of this, first academic position I've applied for (unless you count applying for my undergrad in 2007!).

I need to submit a personal statement of 500 words which my supervisor has checked over. He liked it but wanted more detail and now I'm 200 words over!!

The thing I'm having most trouble with is my CV. I have a normal CV which I've used many times in applying for jobs but this one obviously needs to focus on my academic achievements and I'm really struggling. I've googled it but that didn't really help... My supervisor said to include any relevant modules and my marks but I feel like I'm writing war and peace!

Any advice appreciated! I'm starting to panic a little!
