Shemmassian Academic ConsultingReviews of shemmassianconsulting.com

Shemmassian really helped me navigate the med school application process. My consultants were super professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I would definitely recommend getting their feedback with secondaries and interviews!

I had a meeting with Dan to help me prepare for my interviews for medical school. Dan was extremely professional and quick to help me brainstorm talking points for my interviews. It is clear that he is very familiar with both the medical field, the interview process, and techniques for improving performance during interviews. I look forward to using the information that we discovered together, and feel very confident for my interviews now.

As a current medical student who received multiple admissions offers to top 5 US medical schools, I would give my highest recommendation for Shemmassian’s interview preparation service (I purchased the 3 session bundle). Despite attending a top 5 US university that provided a large network of pre-medical advising and support, the medical interview process remained daunting to me. Shemmassian Consulting’s medical interview prep counselors, who are themselves doctors (often with experience serving on admissions committees) or former medical school admissions staff, provided exactly the insight, general approach, and personalized feedback that I needed to perfect my interview etiquette and confidently and genuinely present myself as a strong candidate to interviewers. I felt that just a few sessions were more than enough; Shemmassian does not try to waste your time or money. Dr. Shemmassian is also highly responsive to questions. Through free, high-quality online blogs and prompt, thorough responses to emails, Dr. Shemmassian was very helpful in reassuring me throughout my application cycle. Fantastic overall!

Shemmassian Academic Consulting was of great assistance in my MCAT preparation. Their tutor, Bela, helped me excel tremendously. She fine-tuned all of our tutoring sessions to my needs to ensure that I was getting the most out of every session!

I cannot thank Shemmassian enough for all their help and guidance! My tutor, Nate, was fantastic, he helped me establish and stick to a study plan, and really catered to my specific learning style. Their methods paid off and helped boost my MCAT score by 8 points in just under 3 weeks! Highly recommend.

Working with the team at Shemmassian Consulting has been a rewarding and great experience in my journey to dental school. The guidance I received throughout my application process helped me tremendously in standing out from others. From helping me articulate my ideas and experiences on paper, to having a one-on-one mock prep interview with my tutor, Dr. Shen, who gave me tips on how to improve for the day of. Not only that but the constant support from the entire team rooting for me through it all gave me hope for the application cycle and I knew I had a great support system. This journey made me feel confident knowing I was well prepared along the way and I would highly recommend Shemmasian Consulting!

The support I received from Dr. Shemmassian and his team was the reason why I was accepted into an M.D. school as a reapplicant. Although I struggled with the essay portions of my applications, Lauren really helped me transform my thoughts into articulate writing. The interview preparation was also great. Not only was I able to schedule a practice session on a short notice, but the advice I received made me feel much more confident heading into my first interview. Dr. Yan helped me refine my answers to common interview questions, and he even sent me a detailed outline of what we discussed after our session ended. Overall, I had such a positive experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting that I plan on reaching out again in a few years for assistance with my residency applications.

My tutoring experience with Shemmassian Tutoring was the best tutoring I ever received. I was set up with a tutor who was kind, understanding, kept me on track, and challenged me in the best ways. All my questions were answered and even in a limited period of tutoring (2 months) from the usual MCAT timeline, I was able to accomplish higher than my target score goal. I would recommend this service for anyone from those unfamiliar and nervous about the MCAT to retaking it with extra assistance.
