I'm looking into going back to college after a break, and there while there seems to be plenty of helping information floating about, there's very little application advice. I've talked to various people about courses on offer, but I find myself lost when it comes to turning my professional cv into a more academic one. And if a personal statement was requested with the cv, just what extra info is expected? Any words of wisdom available?

Most of the PhDs I have applied for called for application forms not CVs..so check this.

Hello mate, i seem to have been pretty sucessful with my applications this year (i managed to get a PhD and had 3 interviews, all at 5* uni's) and all of them involved a CV sending step, if you know what i mean :). If you want, i could email you a copy of mine, which might give you a few ideas.
