UCAS Personal Statement Checker - Free AI Review
Free AI review of your three-question UCAS personal statement - line-by-line annotations plus course-fit feedback over 30,000+ UK courses. Login required.
A personal statement checker that reads your answers against the courses you actually applied to, rather than against a generic template. The review takes about a minute and uses one grading token per run, from the same balance as the essay graders.
How the review works
- Paste your three answers - the review takes the three questions UCAS uses from 2026, up to 4,000 characters in total, rather than the old single essay.
- Add the courses you're applying to - it compares what you wrote against the courses themselves, drawn from more than 30,000 UK undergraduate courses at 343 universities and colleges.
- Read the annotated version - specific phrases are highlighted as strengths or weaknesses, with per-question feedback and concrete ways to make each answer stronger.
What you get back
- Line-level annotations on your own words, with the reason each phrase was flagged.
- Per-question feedback against what that UCAS question is actually asking for.
- Course-fit feedback for each course on your list. More than 8 in 10 courses are backed by the institution's own course-page text, so the fit is grounded in what the course actually says.
- Concrete rewrites to attempt yourself - it never changes your text, so the statement stays yours and stays academically honest.
What it will not do
It will not write or rewrite your personal statement. It highlights and explains so you can make the edits yourself - which is what keeps the statement yours, and what makes the feedback useful when you come to talk about it at interview.

Frequently asked questions
Does the personal statement review use a token?
Yes - one grading token per run, from the same balance as the essay graders. The Course Recommender and the Shortlist Optimiser are free with an account. If a run fails, the token goes straight back onto your balance.
Does it use the new 2026 three-question format?
Yes. It reviews the three questions UCAS uses from 2026, with a 4,000-character total, rather than the old single essay.
What feedback do I get?
An annotated version of your answers (specific phrases highlighted as strengths or weaknesses), per-question feedback, how well it fits each of your chosen courses, and concrete ways to make it stronger.
Will it write my statement for me?
No. It reviews and guides your own writing - it highlights and explains, and never changes your text. That keeps your statement yours and academically honest.
How long does the review take?
About a minute. You paste your three answers and it comes back with the highlighted phrases, per-question feedback and concrete improvements to work from.
How does it check how well my statement fits my courses?
