What makes Shemmassian consulting for Medical School application extraordinarily unique, is the highly specific and personalized nature of the consultation, review and feedback that you receive while going through a highly unpredictable, unclear and stressful process, full of misinformation and uncertainty. Just as evidence-based medicine is crucial to well-being, I believe evidence-based approach to the medical school application is essential for a successful app cycle. So much of this process depends not on merely having engaged with wonderful activities during your pre-medical years, but rather: how to present and describe your activities in a way that Adcoms also think of as wonderful and meaningful. There is simply no better way to do this than to consult with experts on every part of the app process, from AMCAS, to secondaries to Interview Prep, MMI-scenarios and Post-Interview letters. Shemmassian Consulting will connect you with different experts on every part of the application stage, where your activities and your file is heavily reviewed before any of the meetings, and the feedback you receive and the strategies you develop are based on the strength of YOUR app and not some random youtube video or reddit post that has no insight into your unique application and situation. HIGHLY recommend Shemmassian Consulting. Best wishes.

Dr. Shemassian and his team guided me through the medical school application process better than I could have hoped for. I could not have had as much success as I did without them. They helped guide me through the interview process providing strategies so that I could put forth the best picture of who I am to admission committees and answered all of the questions I had to make the process as easy and stress free as possible. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to put forth their best application.

Dr. Shemmassian and his team are wonderful to work with! I initially was unsure on whether I should apply during the current med school cycle. Dr. Shemmassian called me to discuss the best path and I immediately felt confident. I was assigned a wonderful med school consultant who helped me through every aspect of the med school cycle. I was able to receive quick, carefully thought out feedback on every piece of writing. I could tell he was experienced and genuinely wanted to help me. I can't thank Dr. Shemmassian and his team enough - they were extremely helpful. I highly recommend this team!

A tutor helped me focus on certain weaknesses and without his help I definitely would not have performed as well on test day. The sessions were very helpful.

Great interview prep, and Abd, my mock interviewer, was very thorough. His strategies were genius and creative; despite scouring the internet for interview advice, I learned new tips from my mock interview. Not only that, Abd was very encouraging throughout the session. I feel confident going into my interviews, and I highly recommend Shemmassian for medical school application help!

Hailing from a small town in the Deep South, we were very apprehensive when our older son was a rising sophomore at his tiny school. The college application process loomed ominously, impossibly large and confusing. We as physician parents had tried to get him to move to a college prep boarding school in a nearby city. While he resisted the move, we all knew we would need expert guidance and advice to come up with a game plan. Right from the moment we contacted Shirag, he listened patiently and truly understood our hopes and worries. No matter how deep or mundane the questions we plied him with, we always got the typically Shemmassianesque answers - thoughtful and illuminating. Then he and his associates came up with a highly personalized and actionable plan to tackle the long journey ahead. Our son's preceptor was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging. Fast forward to his senior year, Ash was admitted to Vanderbilt, Emory among several others, but he was absolutely elated to start his freshman year at Princeton University. Simply put, Shirag cares. And his results speak for themselves

I used Shemmassian Consulting for a CASPer Practice Test and Review. I found it super helpful especially because I had always been under the impression that you "couldn't really study for CASPer." After using Shemmassian's resources, I found it to be completely false that there is no way to study for CASPer. Simply practicing with the formatting allowed me to feel much more confident when I took the actual test. The feedback was also very helpful (my consultant was Dr. Michael Harries and he was amazing!) because there were written comments next to all of my responses that I could later go back and review. I also had a phone call session to go over my answers, the high points, and what I needed to work on. Having this feedback really boosted my confidence and my ability to concisely and effectively answer the question. Overall, I really recommend this service, especially if you are unsure of what to expect for CASPer and several of your medical schools are requesting results.

I couldn't speak more highly of Shemmassian Academic Consulting. I had used them for my MCAT prep and for some reason decided to try another company for the Medical school application process. Biggest mistake I made during this whole ordeal. I immediately went back to Shemmassian and was not disappointed! They are extremely professional, very direct with fast response rates. Most importantly, they know what they are doing and deliver results. I would 100% recommend this service to other people going through the medical school process.
