International student after an unsuccessful application cycle
It's difficult for international students to get accepted into medical schools since our options are limited. After an unsuccessful application cycle, I found Shemmassian Academic Consulting and went with the White Coat package. I couldn't have make a better decision! The specialists communicated with me on a weekly basis and helped me get on track. Their feedbacks were clear and concise. I also felt much more confident after interview preps with them. I highly recommend SAC!

After an unsuccessful application cycle…
After an unsuccessful application cycle (zero interviews) and constant worries that I'll never become a physician, I connected with the Shemassian team and the rest is history. I was accepted to one of my top choices with a MD/MBA dual degree program, four MD interviews and I'm still waiting to hear from three schools. If you can swing the financials, this team is the real deal. The weight of this incredibly rigorous program will be immediately lifted off of you once you join the Shemassian cruise with an incoming acceptance!

Mock Interview for Medical School
I recently completed a medical school mock interview with a Shemmassian interview specialist, and I would definitely recommend the service to any applicant. The specialist not only ran through several structured questions with me, but also gave me tips to boost my confidence and followed up with written notes. Overall, I felt very comfortable with the specialist and confident going into my interview!

SO WORTH IT!
I wish I had used Shemmassian Consulting two cycles ago! The support, guidance, and feedback I received from my personal consultant made all the difference for my medical school application cycle this time around.
Although my MCAT score was mediocre, I received numerous MD and DO interview invitations with Shemassian Consulting’s help. They helped me decide which activities best highlighted my individual attributes and made me stand out as an applicant. With their feedback, I was able to write a personal statement that told a unique and interesting story, which I feel is a large part of what made my cycle go so well. Not only did my consultant help guide me with the basic parts of the application, but he also gave advice on who to ask for letters of recommendation from, whether to switch jobs, and how to choose between 2 volunteer activities I was passionate about.
In October of this cycle, I had to start turning down interviews as I had been interviewed with and accepted at several great DO programs. I was able to be selective and focus on the schools I was most interested in. I only applied to 7 MD schools, but received interview invites at 4 of them and was waitlisted for each of them.
My consulting team helped guide me through writing letters of interest for each of them at the right time in the application cycle. About a month after being waitlisted at my top choice MD program at a state school, I was accepted. I thought I would be stressfully waiting on the waitlist until AMCAS deadlines passed, but thanks to Shemassian Consulting, I am able to focus on finding and securing housing for the upcoming semester and enjoying time with family and friends.
I never thought I would be able to say that I was accepted to a USMD program, but here I am. Don’t wait until your 3rd application cycle to get help. It is so worth it!

Great Service
Applying to medical school is an arduous journey, and Shemassian gives step by step instructions on how to approach the application process in a bite sized manner. I enjoyed the feedback I had from real doctors who had been through this process before. While I considered myself a great applicant with my GPA, MCAT and 10,000 hours of clinical experience, I was having trouble pinpointing and putting in to words why I love medicine so much and how I wanted to help other people. The guidance I received was invaluable and was provided back to me within 48 hours.
It should be noted that while Shemassin is very powerful, you must put your own effort in to get results. You get out of it what you put in.
If you are a motivated student looking for a consulting service, this is the one you want. Totally worth it.
