Shemmassian Academic Consulting Recenzje 

Over the past two years, I worked with Shemassian Consulting for medical school application support, and their guidance was transformative. As a nontraditional applicant, I benefited greatly from their help while applying to post-baccalaureate programs and, later, to medical school. I was matched with two advisors who took the time to get to know me and my story, and who regularly checked in on my progress. They were always thoughtful, responsive, and available whenever I had any questions. After I was accepted to one of my top-choice post-baccalaureate programs, Shemassian Consulting generously applied my payment toward support for the regular medical school application cycle. With their help, I ultimately gained acceptance to my dream school.

Kaitlyn is an awesome MCAT tutor! She explained concepts really clearly, taught me valuable strategy, and responded quickly to questions/concerns over email. I really like how all the sessions were tailored around what I needed at the time and we were able to focus on areas that I needed improvement in. I highly recommend the Shemmassian MCAT tutoring services!!

Excellent experience! They were kind, knowledgable, and responsive. They helped me through things I had would have had no guidance on being a first-gen applicant. I am so happy to have sought help and happy to share I had been accepted into med school!

Shemmassian is a fantastic medical school coaching company that tailors support to each student. From my first meetings with Shemassian, they provided instrumental feedback and tips as I navigated the complicated medical application process. The physician I worked with was incredibly knowledgable and honest about my application's strengths and weaknesses so I could improve. I highly reccommend their interview coaching as you get to sit down with physcians who have navigasted this proccess themselves and understand the strategy to succeed in an interview.

paid over $10k for med school application. Very trashy MD counselor assigned to me with no idea how to help with application essays and school list. Anything they offer is worse than what you can find online for free. I used their service for the first cycle and had zero interview zero acceptance of course. Second cycle I completely revised the "perfect personal statement" they edited for me and had 5 interviews and 3 acceptances.

Applying to med school was so overwhelming and honestly pretty scary, but Shemmassian Academic Consulting made the whole process so much better!!

My mentor, Terrence, was with me every step of the way and really took the time to get to know me—my story, what I value, and what I wanted in a medical school. I always felt like he actually cared and was rooting for me.

My writing advisor, Colin, was also amazing—super quick to respond and gave such helpful feedback on my essays. He helped me keep my tone authentic while pulling out the most important pieces of my story that I wouldn’t have noticed myself.

Thanks to their support, I felt confident and grounded through such a stressful process—and now I’m officially headed to med school!! Couldn’t recommend them enough.

I didn’t get in my first application cycle so I decided to step it up and get the help of the Shemassian group. They were super knowledgeable and helped me organize my application and my essays in a way that exemplified my strengths. I get into my number one school and feel very grateful for all the help they provided me.

I applied to medical school twice on my own and didn’t receive a single interview. It was discouraging and disheartening, and I knew that if I applied a third time, I needed expert guidance. After finding Shemmassian Academic Consulting, I submitted my information and was soon invited to meet with Dr. Shemmassian himself. He carefully assessed every part of my application and assured me that I didn’t need more gap years—just a strategic repackaging of my existing experiences. That reassurance gave me the confidence to take the leap, and I am so glad I did.

From the very start, I was paired with a writing advisor who genuinely cared about helping me present the most authentic version of myself while keeping my voice intact. My primary advisor was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly responsive—turning around edits quickly, answering questions thoroughly, and guiding me through each step of the process. What stood out most was the meticulous attention to detail. Nothing was ever rushed or green-lit just to move things along; every draft was read and re-read for flow, grammar, and content until it was perfect.

The process was rigorous, and it wasn’t easy balancing full-time work with countless essay revisions. But the support, structure, and encouragement I received made all the difference. For the first time, I felt that my story was being told in a way that truly reflected who I am. The level of professionalism and care not only elevated the quality of my application but also built my confidence in a way I hadn’t experienced in previous cycles.

Today, I can say I’ve submitted the strongest, most authentic version of my application. The peace of mind and hope I’ve gained through this process have made the entire journey absolutely worth it.

My consultants are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. When I have questions, they are always very responsive. I feel very prepared for every step and would highly recommend!

I had an interview prep session with one of the consultants that works for Shemmassian Academic Consulting. I had an incredible experience with this prep session and felt confident going into interview day. The prep sessions are so helpful and are extremely personalized to what type of interview you want to prepare for. Whether you need to prepare for an MMI style interview, a traditional style interview, or even a Standardized Patient Interaction, they can help you feel confident and more than prepared going into interview day. I highly recommend!

Shemmassian Consulting did a great job guiding me through the entire application process, from improving my activity profile to making sure I had all the requirements. I entered my secondaries feeling very prepared. The essay preparation and revisions were also extremely helpful.

I went from 0 interviews one cycle to an acceptance at my top school the next. My advisor always gave honest yet constructive and supportive feedback. I’m very grateful!

My personal consultants were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. When many people believed I could not get accepted this cycle, they had unwavering confidence and helped me get accepted at a dream school!

Very comprehensive and thorough guidance! Everyone was super responsive when it came to editing my work and also super supportive to any concerns and questions I had throughout the process.

The MCAT personal tutoring plan was incredible. Working one-on-one with a kind and knowledgeable tutor made all the difference. We were able to hone in on the topics that were difficult to me that may have been brushed over in a class/group setting, and didn't have to spend time on topics I had already mastered. We were also able to review in depth my practice exams, which was super helpful. I signed on somewhat late before my test date, and my score still increased quite a bit. Given ample time I know the Shemmassian team could have gotten me well past my goal score. I highly recommend them if you are wanting a personalized, non-traditional MCAT prep experience.

I've had a great experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting. The support I've received from the physicians and writing expert I'm working with has helped me understand the process of applying to medical school and apply to medical school with confidence.

The zoom session that I had with Dr. Shemmassian was very engaging. I really learned a lot!

Dr. Shemmassian took the time to not just tell us but to help us understand the components of a great personal essay. He made sure to walk us through each step and instead of lecturing, his talk was very interactive which further enhanced the understanding that we gained.

Maybe the Worst decision I have made in the school path of my elder kids. Close to a Scam. They promise a lot and deliver poorly. They try to squeeze money from you with the use of tutors. And Forget about Dr. Shemm he is only there when he needs to sign you in. Even if you ask for him you wont see him again. I think the best thing they offer is their web page...just take all the info you can from there (with a grain of salt) and consider yourself lucky. Stay away. Stay with your conventional or regular College Advisor. They care a lot more about your kid.
