Personal statement support
Impress admissions tutors with your personal statement
Don’t let a poor personal statement get in the way of you receiving an offer to your dream university. Melio provides customised personal statement support, to help you to make yourself come alive on paper.
Ace your university application
The personal statement is arguably the most important part of the UK’s UCAS process for applying to university. It allows you to fully express who you are and why you would be a great student on the course you’re applying for. If you’re applying to a course or university which requires you to do an interview, it will often form the basis of interview questions.
But getting it right is hard. Too much repetition, grammatical errors, poor structure, and including irrelevant information can all detract from its content.

Uttara
My experience with Melio was great. My teacher made the classes very interesting and engaging. He challenged me to think out of the box and develop multiple perspectives with respect to the text at hand. The assignments were engaging and encouraged me to develop my understanding of the subject through research.
Akshayaa
The courses on medicine and the cardiovascular system were amazing. The tutor was very accommodating of my interests and patient when presented with any doubts or questions. The courses covered a range of advanced topics and the delivery of material was so smooth and engaging that I didn't feel any pressure, I just got lost in knowledge and learning. I'm immensely grateful for this experience and would like to recommend to everyone!
Vama
Melio was a great experience for me. I could hardly believe that I was capable of completing three essays and a policy paper all in two weeks! This course was important for me not just to learn about the subject in great detail but also to realise my own potential.
