Hi,

Though the links were posted 3 years ago, still I found them quite helpful, covering all the stages of PhD application process. Anyone cannot underestimate on how much time it took you to distil all the sources to that particular list. Thanks a lot and good luck with your studies!

With warmest regards from Russia.
