All of the people I worked with to prepare for my interview were very knowledgeable and helped prepare me to the best of my ability. I highly recommend their services to give you the best chances of admission to whichever program you are applying.

I have really been enjoying my experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting. I have gained a much deeper insight into the medical school process through working with my advisor. All of my questions have been thoroughly answered, and the feedback on my writing has helped me transformed my essays into work I feel confident in and proud of.

Amazing experience!
I had an amazing experience with Shemmassian Academic Consulting! My team, Morcos Nakhla and Marissa Eller were fantastic! Anytime I had questions I was able to email them and receive a thoughtful response with a quick turnaround! I feel they clearly have a deep understanding of the admissions process and advice to maximize one’s application! They kept me on track and focused, regularly checking in and providing me with organizational resources to assure I get quality work done in the appropriate time frame. They provided thoughtful edits and suggestions to my writing. I was very pleased with how my personal statement and application turned out! Applying to medical school is a daunting process but having Shemmassian Academic Consulting to support me made it much more manageable! I am happy to say I have received multiple acceptances to medical school!

Investing in SAC
Investing in Shemmassian Academic Consulting was among the best decisions I have ever made. I contemplated the investment at first, as the amount of upfront money due was intimidating. I found comfort and motivation to invest in SAC via reviews of students and my initial meeting with Dr. Shemmassian. I am writing this review to encourage those students who are contemplating this investment in the same manner that I was. I invested in SAC after two unsuccessful application cycles. At this point, I was 3 years removed from my undergraduate studies working a job that was intended to supplement my medical school candidacy. Ultimately, my dream of going to medical school and becoming a physician was beginning to seem very bleak. However, SAC restored my confidence in myself as an applicant and eventual physician. They dissected my previous AMCAS applications to help me find ways to strengthen my candidacy. Not only did they assist me in finding opportunities to fill the weaknesses of my application, but they pushed me to creatively write about my impact on my past and current endeavors to impress admissions committees. After AMCAS was complete, the creative writing process continued throughout secondary applications to put forth the best possible application for each school. Ultimately, if you are an applicant with average statistics and are worried about ever being accepted into medical school, look no further than SAC. Alternatively, if you have outstanding statistics and impressive endeavors, investing in SAC will help you obtain acceptance letters from the prestigious medical schools of your dreams. I honestly cannot speak higher of my experience with SAC. Moreover, the difference between the application cycles I endured alone compared to the application cycle I tackled with the help of SAC is highlighted by multiple acceptance letters and many interview opportunities. If the investment price scares you like it once scared me, ask yourself: "Would I put a price on an acceptance letter from a medical school?" As someone who has gone through 3 application cycles, I can assure you that this process is something you will only want to do once. Investing in SAC is a surefire way to ensure that your first application cycle will be your last application cycle.

Outstanding Experience
Dr. Shemmassian and his team have made such an amazing difference for me in my application process. As a second time applicant, I was feeling discouraged and unsure of how to proceed. The guidance and support I have received from my team through Shemmassian has been outstanding. I have had four interviews, and currently hold two acceptances as I wait for more results. I truly could not recommend this team's services more!

SAC Shines In All Aspects of Med School Admissions, Especially Writing!
I had a wonderful experience working with Shemmassion Academic Consulting for medical school admissions that has resulted in acceptances to some of the top institutions in the nation!
As I was a re-applicant, SAC helped me pinpoint what some of my weaknesses from my first application cycle were, specifically in my essay writing. My SAC advisors helped reframe my writing style to better emphasize my passion and reasons for "why medicine," ultimately aiding my receipt of multiple interview invites and capturing the attention of the admissions committee members that I had not captured in the previous application cycle.
This point regarding SAC's excellent writing advising cannot be emphasized enough. Receiving acceptances to medical schools requires not only excellent academic credentials and rich medically-pertinent experiences (which SAC will also ensure you possess in your application), but also a highly effective means of expressing your experiences and strengths. This expression is performed through writing, and I would recommend every pre-medical student to have his/her writing reviewed by experts to maximize the number of interview invites. Effective application-style writing is quite different from academic writing that most students are familiar with!
Once interviews started rolling in, I met with my primary advisor multiple times for mock interviews, eventually reaching a level of confidence and fluidity in speech that let me put my best foot forward on interview days.
Overall, I'd say that medical school is an investment, not only with finances but also with time. If you want to maximize your chances of an acceptances and limit the possibility of spending extra years and thousands of dollars on multiple application cycles (like I did) I would highly, highly recommend advising with SAC.

I'm so grateful to my entire team at Shemmassian Academic Consulting for their guidance and support throughout the medical school admissions process. I began the cycle very apprehensive about my prospects, but Dr. Shemmassian personally assured me that his team would be able to guide me to success. Along the way, my writing mentor and advisor guided me through each step of the process from primaries to grueling secondaries, and finally up to the multiple interviews and subsequent acceptances I received. My advising team made this process a lot less daunting and stressful and I would highly recommend their services to every medical school applicant.
