Shemmassian Academic Consulting Reviews 

Dr. Shemassian's team is world-class, and is an invaluable resource to have for the medical school application process. As an applicant with a prior non-medical career, their guidance helped me frame my experiences in a way that was interesting to admissions officers. This helped me land multiple interviews from different programs. I firmly believe Dr. Shemmassian and his team are the best in the field, and are helping the next generation of doctors achieve their goals.

The Shemmassian team helped me thoughtfully and powerfully highlight my experiences and communicate how they will help me as a physician. The team was flexible when I needed quick turnarounds or last minute interview preps. They helped keep me accountable during the long application process.

I was accepted to MIT, the only top school I applied to, for early action. The extensive experience and expertise of my primary counselor made me more confident about the college app process. Also, having someone experienced bring me along the application process made applying significantly easier.

I appreciated the prompt responsiveness and detailed support given by my advisors. In addition, I enjoyed being able to work with multiple advisors, each specialized in particular aspects of my application journey, so that I could integrate feedback from multiple perspectives into my application.

I used Shemmassian for their interview prep, I really loved my experience and I'm equally very glad that I decided to work with them. The person who worked with me was very kind yet thorough in the advice and notes that they gave me to help me improve and I feel much more confident going into my actual interview!

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!

Everyone was really Great. From interview prep to countless PS and Essay feedback, I felt that Shemmassian was very responsive to me. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They really make the process easy and way less stressful.

Shemmassian Consulting has been the best support during my medical school application process. Not only are the very well informed about everything, but also provide a positive support system during this very daunting and stressful process. What I loved most about Shemmassian Consulting was how encouraging the team was and how they worked to fit my individual needs, rather than following a “one size fits all” mindset. Working with Shemmassian was the best decision I made, and I can’t imagine applying to med school without them.

The level of care, knowledge, and professionalism from both my primary and writing advisor was more than I could have asked for. Getting twice the number of interviews I was expecting, along with getting accepted to medical school, I was very impressed and happy with their service.

Interview coaching was very helpful!
Dylan did a great job of preparing me before one of my interviews.

I've felt very supported throughout, advisors have gone above and beyond to make sure I had great resources to support my application journey. Everyone is very invested in my success.

They transformed my writing and helped me tell my story. My first cycle was unsuccessful, and I believe a reason why was that my writing was poor. Shemmassian helped me get my story and ideas made into a great personal statement. They did an excellent job.

I have nothing but great things to report about Shemmassian Academic Consulting. I did both their tutoring and advising plans-- both of which were excellent! I received so much one-on-one support. Advisors and tutors were available to be around the clock. I could not have done it without them! They helped me get into the medical school of my dreams.

Shemmassian were incredibly responsive to all my needs. The essay editing staff were so on top of things and really took my writing to another level. As for interviews, their tips were incredibly useful, and did a great job presenting me with the scenarios and situations I would face. I was able to clarify any doubts very quickly, and all the staff was very open to my ideas and theme, rather than using their own. All in all, Dr. Shemmassian's team really takes their time with each student, and it has been a great experience.

I had an amazing experience with Shammassian Academic Consulting. It has been more helpful than I thought. My advisor prepared me for different perspectives and insights into the same basic interview questions I had never imagined. I am grateful to the whole team and highly recommend them to everyone who aims for competitive medical and PA programs.

I would give Shemmassian Consulting a 10/10 review! My advising has been top notch, my advisors are very quick to answer any questions I have and support me in the best possible way. They do a great job with helping you prepare to apply to medical school and guide you through the application process and then help you prepare for interviews. I would recommend the to anyone who asked me.

My primary and writing advisor were a great help through the entire process of applying to medical school, for both American and Canadian schools. They always replied promptly, with good advice, whenever I had questions. My writing advisor worked collaboratively with me to edit all of my essays and work out all the necessary details. Overall, my experience was very positive!

I had a great experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting for my medical school applications. My advisors were quick and thorough when responding to my questions and the secondary app support was a huge reason I felt confident in my application. I would recommend to anyone beginning their med school application journey!

Shemmassian helped me with my interview prep a week before my med school interview. The mock interview showed my weak areas and where to improve before my actual interview. I felt confident and ready in my actual interview due to this service. I would recommend this to others who feel nervous or unprepared for their med school interviews.

My experience working with the SAC team was amazing! They helped me throughout my application cycle (from personal statement to secondary essays), and I can't recommend them enough. Because of their help, I got into my top choice MD school even though I had a low MCAT score.
