Choosing Us
Q: Why TMP?
A: We understand that choosing who to put your trust in to guide you through medical school applications is a hard decision to make. We have always operated on the basis that people want – and need – preparation they can really trust, from proven experts with a strong track record. You are in good hands with us because:
- We are the only provider trusted by hundreds of schools worldwide. No other organisation has been able to build the same level of institutional trust. So, when it comes to quality and reliability, top schools have done the selection process for you.
- We have taught over 40,000 aspiring medics, and millions more use our website every year. That reach is unrivalled. Plus, we’re platinum award winners with Feefo, thanks to over 3 years of 4* plus independent reviews.
- We have a full-time team of coordinators and academics, on-hand to provide the best service for you. Many smaller organisations are formed by medical students. And while they might offer lower prices, their support cannot match ours.
- Finally, we offer an all-in-one solution, covering all prep types. You will notice that other platforms tend to specialise in courses, tutoring, or e-Learning. We do it all. You can even get up to 25% with our prep packages, which cover all the bases.
Q: What are your success rates?
A: Respondents to our 2022-23 Customer Survey who used our UCAT prep achieved an average UCAT score of 2,817, well into the 8th decile. 89% of them went on to get an interview. 87% of respondents to our customer survey scored in Bands 1 or 2 for Situational Judgement in 2022. 45% were in Band 1 – more than double the national average of 20%.
Around 87% of respondents to our 2022-23 Customer Survey got at least one offer to study Medicine, Dentistry or a related course. 89% of these ‘strongly agreed’ or ‘agreed’ that the prep they did with TMP contributed to this outcome.
