Personal Statement help

Are you applying for a maths degree?

no im applying for engineering

How many times have you used the word maths?

probably like 5-6 times

That’s far too much for an engineering PS. Are you sure you’re applying for the right degree?

I was told to read a maths book because there are no engineering books i could find for my course and a lot of my extra curriculars were maths related so I just had nothing else to talk about

You could watch an online lecture or complete a MOOC. A Maths book isn't really relevant and is just taking up space in your PS.

what is an MOOC

A massive open online course. Basically an online course that you can complete in your own time.
Here's an example of one delivered by the Uni of Birmingham, delivered via FutureLearn.

Coursera has a lot of Engineering content, some of which is free:

If you google 'Engineering MOOCs' you will find more. Just remember that a uni won't care whether you got a certificate at the end of a course, so don't pay extra for one.
NB. St Anne's College, Oxford also has a very long list of other Engineering related super curriculars, (under Engineering/Materials Science):

thank you ill check those out!!

Hey I agree with the advice about doing a MOOC. I just finished my A-Level's this year and will be studying aerospace engineering. I was very interested in materials when studying A-Level physics and was able to link this passion to an extra-curricular. I found a MOOC on aerospace materials and structures by TUdelft.
I will share an extract from my personal statement although I'd advise not to plagiarise as this will be flagged when you submit your personal statement. Feel free to use as inspiration!
'My desire for engineering stemmed from my interest in materials at A-level and the wider role it plays in the design of aerospace structures. To better understand this, I did TUDelft's course on aerospace structures and materials. What struck me was how low-density materials like composites or wood could be arranged in complex configurations like trusses, to reinforce the overall structure. This taught me the importance of the structural elements that make up wings and made me appreciate how they are designed to reduce aerodynamic loads.'
Goodluck !!!
