We will guide you through each of the questions in the new style of Personal Statements for 2026 entry, ensuring you remain within the word count while developing a high-quality statement that encompasses all the qualities the medical and dental schools are looking for. Universities use the PS differently, some to shortlist candidates while others use them in the interview. Regardless, every student will be required to complete one. Following feedback from this year’s cohort, we can conclude that for 2024 entry all those who did the ‘Choosing your 4 Medical Schools’ webinar followed by the 1-2-1 report (not offered for 2026 entry due to removal of AR from UCAT) received at least ONE interview. Many received 3 or 4 interviews following our algorithms.
