Hi, I'm applying for an exchange program to the USA. I'd appreciate it if you would correct my Statement of Purpose letter.

As a second year Mechanical Engineering student, I have always had a great desire to study abroad. When introduced to this exchange program, I realized that this was an excellent opportunity. Studying in the USA for one semester will definitely be a unique experience.


First of all, I would like to gain international experience. I will probably be working for international companies throughout my career. Furthermore, I plan to go to a graduate school in the USA. With this program, I will get to know the educational system in the United States better and I will have the chance to live in a foreign country.


Secondly, experiencing new cultures has always been a passion. Making new friends, seeing new, sophisticated places will contribute a lot to me. I will have the chance to increase my knowledge of American culture.


Lastly, getting an excellent engineering education with the latest equipment available seems very intriguing. Campus life and social opportunities of American universities also interest me a lot. Improving my foreign language knowledge, especially English and practicing with native speakers is another aspect of this program.


I am looking forward to studying at your university for one semester. I am sure that it will be one of the most remarkable memories of my life.
