[Carefully taking off my "I work there" hat]

PhDs scare me.
Sophie has been doing her PhD for five years. For one of those years, she has been completely stuck.
You know enough about [livejournal.com profile] miss_rynn's PhD to understand why they scare me.
Think about how you would handle situations like that. You have [livejournal.com profile] aeliel for support.

In terms of scope, try this. Chunk it down into tiny bits. Work out how long you think it will take your first bit. If it takes longer than you expect, reduce the scope of the rest. Rinse and repeat.

As for the application, if you don't put it in, you have no chance. If you do put it in, you have a pretty good chance.
