Shemmassian Academic ConsultingReviews of shemmassianconsulting.com

Hello, my name is Christopher Ringheanu, and I'm here to tell you about the incredible experience I had with Shemmassian Consulting, as well as why you should strongly consider their services for assistance/support with your application process. For reference, I was accepted to the University of Southern California, Wake Forest University, and the University of Texas at Austin. I chose to attend UT Austin and am currently a freshman here now! Of course the most integral part of Shemmassian Consulting is your individual consultant, mine being Akash Patel, so I'd like to pinpoint two things which made our partnership a great one. 1. Akash acted very professionally, advised me in the important areas of my senior year and college app process, and was a huge help with every essay I wrote. But perhaps more importantly, he was an outlet for me to talk about the overwhelming stresses of the entire journey. The pressure of making my essays perfect, comparing myself to the standards of top tier universities, and the insecurities of whether or not I’d get into the college of my dreams (and whether or not that college was even the one I wanted to attend). So many ups and downs, but I felt that I truly had someone in my corner at all times with Akash. He was extremely personable and a great individual to share this journey with. 2. I feel that Akash understood what I truly wanted out of the admissions process, even when no one else really did. I always desired to attend UT Austin, but I was so conflicted based on the desires of others who are supporting me and also an integral part of my journey. Akash and I had many conversations about how to balance everything, steps to take in order to gain clarity on what I truly wanted out of this process, and reassured me that the most important thing is that I end up going to a university that I will be truly happy attending. It all worked out in the end. I am doing extremely well here. My parents see it, my older brothers see it, and most importantly I FEEL it. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, good luck with your endeavors, and strongly consider choosing Shemmassian Consulting!

Shemmassian Academic Consulting has been incredibly valuable throughout my entire medical school application process. My advisors have continuously worked with me to highlight my strengths as well as improve upon my weaknesses both with writing and interviewing. This personalized attention has made all the difference.

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!!

I had a fantastic experience commissioning SAC to review my personal statement and application for internal medicine residency. My reviewer (who was herself an accomplished physician at a highly reputable institution) gave me detailed and incisive edits and comments in a very short amount of time. SAC clearly improved the quality of my application and I would highly recommend the service to anyone else.

I had a great experience with Shemmassian Consulting for interview prep. My advisor helped me practice with both traditional style questions, as well as MMI, which I did not have previous experience in answering. I found it really helpful to walk through the questions and the coaching session made me feel a lot more confident on how to approach a wide variety of questions that may come my way. I would definitely recommend this service to everyone to ease some of the interview nerves during the application cycle by feeling a lot more prepared going into them! Thank you!

Interview prep exceeded my expectations! The person I worked with was friendly, answered all of my questions thoroughly and clearly has a lot of experience with interview prep and admissions processes. He gave clear advice on how to answer interview questions and we worked to create strategy that works for me. I would definitely recommend interview prep to others. I walked away with a clear and easy method for answering MMI style questions and got a really good look into how admission committees evaluate their interviewees, two extremely valuable things to know going into interviews! Our session helped me build confidence about my interview skills and my ability to succeed in medical school in general.

Several years ago, I would have never imagined that I would be accepted to my dream medical school, Harvard Medical School. As an international student, I was always discouraged to apply due to the low acceptance rate and challenging process. However, the Shemmassian team always believed in me and supported me throughout the whole process despite all of the obstacles. When I first took the MCAT, I was discouraged, but after receiving guidance from an amazing tutor at Shemmassian, I was able to raise my score significantly the second time around and be ready to apply. I cannot express how grateful I am for the amazing support and guidance I got from the Sehmmassian team to help me achieve my dream, one that I never knew was possible.

This experience was so helpful for so many reasons! I just Shemmassian Academic Consulting for my interview prep. My interviewer, Itay, was so knowledgeable and gave great feedback. I would absolutely recommend it to any of my friends!
