Why Meridian exists
Levelling the playing field.
Exceptional admissions guidance should not depend on which school a student happens to attend.
Compete with confidence
Competition for leading universities is intense. Strong preparation helps students present the clearest and most compelling version of their genuine achievements, academic interests and thinking.
Access expert support
Students at the best-resourced schools often benefit from specialist admissions advice, interview preparation and application strategy. Meridian makes that kind of support available directly to families.
Why families invest in getting this right
A university application is short. The financial and career consequences are not.
The point of admissions support is not simply to get an offer. It is to help a student compete intelligently, choose well and avoid making a major education decision with incomplete information.
Tuition alone across a typical three-year degree
At the £10,050 maximum standard annual fee for 2027/28 in England — before accommodation, travel and other living costs.
Applications per graduate vacancy
ISE employers reported a record average of 140 applications per graduate vacancy, while graduate recruitment fell 8% in its 2025 survey.
Applicants per place for Oxford Economics & Management
Course-level competition can vary dramatically. Strategy matters most when the margin for error is small.
Admissions expertise is not distributed evenly. The Sutton Trust notes that privately educated students typically have better access to university-admissions support and aspiration-raising opportunities. Meridian exists to make high-quality guidance accessible beyond the schools traditionally able to provide it.
