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!

Shemmassian helped me get 6 interviews, 3 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Successful cycle. Highly recommend because advice in medical school applications is paramount.

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 :)

I had a wonderful experience working with the Shemmassian team during my residency application process! I not only felt supported by my primary consultant in their guidance through the application process, but also as a wonderful support system easing any anxiety I had during the process. I absolutely recommend Shemmassian Academic Consulting for residency consulting -- with their support, I am excited to share that I will be starting as a pediatrics intern at NYU-GLISOM this summer!

The service they offered was so worth it. Going into the med school application process, I was nervous and worried. People on reddit/SDN say to do so many different things. I had no idea what kind of schools I was competitive for or whether I had gaps in my application & experiences that I needed to fill. During the application cycle, I had so many questions about which experiences to write about in my secondary essays, and how to prep for MMIs and traditional interviews. My advisor addressed every single one of my questions and made sure I did everything as perfectly as possible for my applications. I also asked to be matched with an advisor who had served on an admissions committee at a top 10 school, and the company gladly obliged. My advisor gave me EXCEPTIONAL advice and throughout the cycle put me at ease and made me feel reassured. I ended up getting interviews at five top 10s and ultimately was admitted to my dream school!!!

I had a great experience with this and would highly recommend. They truly guide you through the entire application process and take away so much of the stress and confusion associated with applying to medical school. I received acceptances to multiple top 20 schools, and I know I would not have had this much success if I wouldn't have used Shemmassian. The help and support you receive is priceless!

Excellent physicians who took their time and attention to prepare for our sessions. The feedback they gave was very helpful. I think the sessions helped me prepare well for my interviews. Also, the customer support and scheduling team was on top of everything to make sure we were able to coordinate and set up the session in short order.

Company did exactly as they advertised and were 100% transparent. They were a tremendous help with the writing portion and helped me secure an acceptance at USC along with other interviews I am waiting to here back from including a T20
