What students say
Applicants who sat where you're sitting
Despite a UCAT score of 2100, I received interviews and offers from Liverpool, Manchester and Keele. Blue Peanut’s mock MMIs were the most authentic I attended—detailed feedback and realistic practice gave me confidence and helped me refine my approach.
2026 Entry StudentI achieved a 2480 UCAT and received interviews from Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Bristol, securing offers for Dentistry from all four. The mock MMI circuit was especially useful—great preparation and very helpful overall.
2026 Entry StudentSmaller groups and personalised support, and far better value than the pricier commercial courses. Their follow-up was instrumental in both my daughter and niece getting their offers.
