UCAS statement review
Your UCAS statement, reviewed by NHS doctors
Applying for medicine or dentistry? UCAS now splits the personal statement into three structured questions. We give you clear, personalised feedback on all three, so your answers are focused, reflective, and written in your own words.
Send us your draft for written feedback, or book a live one-to-one session if you are starting from scratch.
Blue Peanut: NHS doctor led UCAS statement review for medicine and dentistry
The format has changed
The UCAS statement is now three questions
For 2026 entry onwards, UCAS replaced the single essay with three structured questions. Each one needs a focused, well evidenced answer, and for medicine and dentistry the bar is high. We review all three.
Why do you want to study this course?
Your motivation for medicine or dentistry, shown through genuine insight and reflection rather than clichés.
How have your studies prepared you?
Linking your subjects and wider academic reading to the real demands of the course you are applying for.
What else have you done to prepare?
Work experience, volunteering and wider activities, and why they matter for a future clinician.
The essentials: 4,000 characters in total across all three answers, with a minimum of 350 characters for each. We help you use that space well.
What's included
Feedback on all three UCAS answers
We review each of your three answers in turn, then look at how they work together, so your motivation, academic preparation and wider experience come through clearly across the whole statement.
Question one
Your motivation, done well
The hardest answer to get right. We help you show genuine, specific reasons for medicine or dentistry, not the lines admissions tutors read a thousand times.
- Insight and reflection over clichés
- Evidence from your own experience
- A reason that reads as truly yours
Question two
Academic preparation that lands
Linking your subjects and wider reading to the real demands of the course, so this answer shows readiness rather than just listing grades.
- Subjects tied to course demands
- Super-curricular reading used well
- Skills shown, not simply claimed
Question three
Experience that counts
Work experience, volunteering and wider activities framed around what they taught you about being a future clinician, with the right reflection.
- The right experiences, chosen carefully
- Reflection that shows self-awareness
- Clear relevance to clinical practice

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.
