Your UCAT score, predicted A-levels and GCSEs already tell you which schools to apply to. Most applicants never read that data — they guess, or copy a friend's list. In one hour, we map your profile against every UK medical school's published entry criteria and hand you an evidence-based, ranked shortlist.
School selection matters more than ever. With UCAT now universal across all UK medical schools and application numbers rising year on year, getting your four choices right is the single highest-impact decision in your application.
Book Now — £100Your four UCAS choices are fixed the moment you submit. There is no correcting a mistake after the deadline — and a poor school list can mean zero interviews regardless of how strong your personal statement is.
Many applicants pick schools based on league table rankings or name recognition — not on whether their UCAT score and grades actually clear that school's entry thresholds. Reputation doesn't equal profile fit.
A school that fits your friend's UCAT score and A-level predictions may be entirely wrong for yours. Every applicant profile is different. A copied list optimises for someone else's chances, not yours.
Some applicants perform significantly better in MMI than panel, or vice versa. Applying to four MMI schools when a panel format suits you better is a structural disadvantage — one that smart school selection avoids entirely.
We arrive prepared. Before your session begins, your consultant maps your academic profile against current published entry data for all 44 UK medical and dental schools. The hour itself is spent analysing, discussing and deciding — not gathering basic information from scratch.
We place your UCAT total and subtest scores against each school's published and estimated cutoff thresholds — identifying where your score comfortably clears, where you're borderline and where applying would waste a UCAS choice.
Every UK medical school publishes minimum A-level requirements — but many have effective thresholds well above the stated minimum. We match your predicted grades and subject combination against what each school actually offers to, not just what they state.
Several UK medical schools weight GCSEs heavily in their shortlisting formula — some calculate a GCSE score as part of the admissions algorithm alongside UCAT. We identify which schools your GCSE profile favours and which to avoid.
MMI and panel interviews require fundamentally different skills and preparation. We assess which format suits you better and factor this into school selection — so your shortlist plays to your interview strengths, not against them.
Not a vague sense of direction. A specific, ranked list of four schools — with written reasoning for each — that you can submit to UCAS with confidence.
Your four UCAS choices ranked by realistic chance of success — stretch, target and safe — based on your specific UCAT score, grades and GCSEs.
A written summary explaining why each school made your list, what thresholds you clear and what to be aware of — delivered within 24 hours of your session.
We flag the schools where your profile sits at a structural disadvantage — so you don't waste a UCAS choice on an application unlikely to reach shortlisting.
A clear outline of what to focus on next — UCAT retake if needed, work experience gaps, PS angles — specific to your shortlist and timeline.
Straightforward process, clear outcome.
Book online and complete a short pre-session form covering your UCAT score (or estimated score), predicted A-levels, GCSE grades and any schools you're currently considering. Your consultant reviews this before the session so the full hour is spent on decisions, not data gathering.
A focused, one-to-one video call with your MediBrain UK consultant. We work through your profile against each school's real entry criteria — UCAT thresholds, grade requirements, GCSE weighting and interview format — and build your ranked shortlist together in the session.
Within 24 hours of your session we deliver your written output — four ranked schools with rationale for each, schools flagged to avoid, and a next-steps roadmap. A document you can act on straight away.
A single consultation is £100 per hour. That is the entire cost — including pre-session preparation by your consultant, the full one-hour session and the written shortlist delivered within 24 hours.
There are no packages, no bundles and nothing hidden. If you need a second session — to revisit your choices after a UCAT retake, for example — each is booked independently at the same £100 rate.

Anyone applying to a UK medical or dental school who wants to make their four UCAS choices based on evidence, not guesswork.
You're preparing your UCAS application and want to know — from the data — which four schools genuinely suit your profile before you commit to applying.
You applied before and received no interviews. A school selection consultation helps identify whether your choices — not just your application — were part of the problem.
GEM programmes have different thresholds and smaller intakes. Knowing which of the 13 programmes genuinely suit your graduate profile is critical before applying.
