I am very interested in pursuing a career in Mechanical Engineering, and I am in the process of writing my Personal Statement for universities.

However, I am not sure what would be good to include, I have around 1 month until the deadline for applications, and in that time I would like to do something related which would really boost my application.

Any ideas what I can do, this would be really helpful to me.

Thank you :)

Ask yourself why? Now turn the reasons (and bullet points) into a personal statement (which is only, what, a page or two?)
