Medical school admissions Dr. Shemassian and his team guided me through the medical school application process better than I could have hoped for. I could not have had as much success as I did without them. They helped guide me through the interview process providing strategies so that I could put forth the best picture of who I am to admission committees and answered all of the questions I had to make the process as easy and stress free as possible. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to put forth their best application.

Perfect Experience with Shemmassian I am now just chilling, going through my senior year riding high. I was already accepted into an MD program, my second choice, the day after med school admissions can release acceptance decisions! I already had several interviews between August and early October, with others scheduled throughout the rest of 2023 and early 2024. I finished and submitted all my secondary essays to med schools in early August, over a hundred between mid-June and August. And they were coming in all at once. I can't imagine how I would have handled that while taking grueling summer courses. Working with Shemmassian was the best investment for my future. They kept me on track and made sure I could prepare myself well in advance for any type of essay asked of me. More importantly, we curated schools that would give me a higher, more likely, yield of looks. My essays were well-polished (quick turnarounds too) and I never felt like my story was being hijacked or abandoned. My voice rang out through my essays and Shemmassian helped convey my story in the most meaningful and impactful way while adjusting to what any particular school mission could identify with. There isn't anyone I wouldn't recommend Shemmassian to. update: I've been accepted to my number 1 school, UCLA!

Wonderful Mock Interview I really enjoyed working with Dr. Eman Mubarak, who prepared me for my MMI interview. She is very experienced, and gave me very helpful feedback and tips on how I could improve. I felt very confident going into my interview and would highly recommend working with her!

Put your student's medical school application process in the hands of professionals! Our son used the Shemmassian over the last two medical school admission cycles. Though his first attempt was unsuccessful, Sid and Jammie from Shemmassian gave frank, honest feedback that as a parent it's sometimes difficult to give. It was also the best decision to get him working with professionals who know and understand what strengths need to be highlighted and what weaknesses need more work. It certainly is a long process, but the team kept him on schedule and focused. They prepped him for interviews and made sure he stressed what made him stand out. Could not be happier with the outcome!!

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!
