How can make my application for an Internship more competive

I’m 22 years old in my 1st year at UCL doing Mech Eng. I went back to school at 20 to do my A-Levels getting A A* A*. Aside from that I’ve done very little with my life. Essentially the past 2 years has been rebuilding the mess I made of things as a sixteen year old.

Currently my CV is very sparse with only my academic achievements on it.

I’m open to any suggestions of anything I can do to make myself appear to be a more rounded individual.
