Shemmassian gave me the professional guidance and reassurance needed during my application cycle. As someone who felt unconfident entering the 2022-2023 cycle, Shemmassian was there for me every step of the way and checked every minute detail of my application from primaries and secondaries to interview prep and update letters. Despite not having the highest academic stats, I am blessed to have gained admission to one of my top choice medical schools!

I used the residency consulting process and landed my number one choice with the help of SAC and especially Dr. Whang. She was knowledgable, prompt, and always willing to assist. Would recommend this service to anyone!

I had a great experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting. I didn't know much about the application process and felt that my consultant planned out my application such that I was confident with the end product. I'm very happy with my acceptance and felt that the application process would've been much more stressful without him.

I had a non-traditional pathway to medical school and Shemmassian Academic Consulting helped me during the process despite the challenges, first for MCAT prep and then for interview coaching. Communication with the agency was very timely and professional. I immediately was linked to a tutor and in a few days I received my textbooks and other materials. My tutor was very knowledgeable and accommodating and tailored my study plan to my demanding schedule. I was most satisfied with the level of organization of my sessions and the ample resources I had access to for practice and in the end, my practice exam scores aligned with my actual MCAT score, which was reassuring. For the interview prep, my experience was equally positive and I felt tremendously prepared for my medical school interview. Most importantly these coaching sessions made me feel confident and excited about the interviews instead of being intimidated by the process. Overall, I am very pleased with Shemmassian Academic Consulting. Everyone in their team is well organized, helpful, accommodating and they give great advice and services to prospective medical school applicants. Even though the price tag may be a little steep for many people I think that the cost is justified by the fact that medical school applications are so daunting and unpredictable that it is good to have someone else with experience in the field to make the process a little more manageable and less stressful.

Shemmassian Residency services provided me with excellent service from the day I purchased my ERAS package. There was always someone there to help me with every aspect of the application process from my personal statement, interviews, and all the way to rank list selection and strategy. I highly recommend this for any residency applicant who wants support for a competitive residency spot to have your application be competitive.

The whole application process was much less stressful because of the support I received from Shemmassian. I would't change anything about the support I received and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about medical school.

My advisors were there with me every step of the way, from looking over my primary application to preparing me for interviews. They were both proactive and supportive, and worked with me to ensure that my application was as strong as it could be. The whole process was smooth, with a very quick turnaround on all essay editing. Thanks to them, I was accepted to Johns Hopkins, my top choice medical school!
