Professional, Timely, and Compassionate Medical School Admissions Support! The Shemmassian Academic Consulting team earned their 5-star review from the moment I engaged them up until my acceptance into medical school. During my initial consultation, Dr. Shemmassian listened to my story and offered honest feedback. That set the tone for my application cycle; I was matched with the perfect advisor for my goals based on my academic and personal background, and they supported me in building a genuine application that captured exactly who I am and why medicine is for me. Having applied to 30+ M.D. schools this cycle, I can testify that time management can make or break a cycle. The Shemmassian team will have you ready to submit well ahead of schedule, and they'll do it without compromising quality. For anyone who is skeptical, schedule a free initial consultation and see what they have to say. That's what I did, and now I'm gonna be a doctor!

Amazing Experience with SAC - Admitted to 8 MD Schools! I had a wonderful experience using SAC for both MCAT tutoring and consulting during the application cycle (I'll focus on the latter for this review). With SAC's support, I received 10 interviews, which turned into 8 acceptances, including a T-5 school and many other top programs. My primary consultant, Dr. Jothishankar, was extremely knowledgeable about the application process and always available to help. He checked in very frequently, and guided me through every step of the process, from my first primary drafts all the way through deciding what school I would attend. The writing support was also second to none. SAC really stands by their 48 hour turnaround commitment, and it was really comforting to know that I'd have edits so soon after I submitted a secondary to the team. There also seems to be a lot of support in the background to make sure that students are covered if the primary consultant or writing support staff member is away for a few days -- everything was seamless and well communicated to me. Also, as a type-A person, I really appreciated SAC's organization and transparent communication. Overall, SAC made this process stress-free and manageable, which is priceless. Could not recommend more!

Great Experience with Shemmassian Kevin, John and the rest of the team at Shemmassian Consulting helped me so much throughout the long process of applying to medical school. They quickly edited every draft of my primary and secondary applications, making sure my writing sounded genuine, cohesive and professional. Having their help really helped me to stay focused and motivated throughout the entire process. One of my favorite parts about this service was their interview prep. During each session, they gave me great tips and helped me to personalize each of my answers. I would highly recommend Shemmassian Consulting if you are applying to medical school :)

Very personal and responsive support - admitted to the Renaissance SOM The Shemmassian team gave me impressive support throughout the whole application process. They looked at my application and helped curate a list of schools that were realistic, were very attentive when helping me edit my primaries and secondaries, and guiding me through high yield and more nuanced interview questions (both traditional and MMI). They also made sure that I was emotionally supported. Overall it gave me peace of mind knowing I could rely on this team and made the whole process significantly less stressful. I would highly recommend their services.

Amazing experience! I wholeheartedly recommend Shemmassian Academy with no reservations. I truly believed my academic career was doomed due to my low GPA in my bachelors degree. Dr. Imsande is one of the more compassionate and professional people I have ever met. She helped me see and believe in my strengths and the value I am able to bring to the medical field. She helped me believe in myself, and did an amazing job at perfecting my personal essay and guiding me throughout the whole application process. The whole team was extremely supportive and I could not have met my goals without them. This was the best investment in my academic journey! -Leo
