Great experience I highly recommend using Shemmassian's services. I worked with an advisor on my personal statement, secondaries, and interview prep. He took the time to get to know me and helped highlight my strengths. He was very responsive over email and his comments were always thorough and useful. This was my 2nd time applying to med school after only interviewing at 1 school not being accepted anywhere the first time around. This time I interview at around 7 schools and received 3 acceptances so far. Would definitely recommend their services especially for anyone looking to strengthen their application the second time around.

Worth Every Penny Everyone I interacted with was very responsive and helpful. I had a lot of questions about the cycle that I couldn't find consistent answers to online and it was incredibly helpful to have someone that could answer all of my questions and help guide me through the entire process. I loved that is was a collaborative environment. They always respected my preferences and point of view and gave constructive advice. If I had a busy or something going on, they were flexible about my turn around time. There are a lot of parts in the medical school application cycle. Having someone help you stay on track and manage all of the different parts make a huge difference. I would highly recommend using their services. It is worth the investment.

Amazing Experience with SAC - Admitted to 8 MD Schools! I had a wonderful experience using SAC for both MCAT tutoring and consulting during the application cycle (I'll focus on the latter for this review). With SAC's support, I received 10 interviews, which turned into 8 acceptances, including a T-5 school and many other top programs. My primary consultant, Dr. Jothishankar, was extremely knowledgeable about the application process and always available to help. He checked in very frequently, and guided me through every step of the process, from my first primary drafts all the way through deciding what school I would attend. The writing support was also second to none. SAC really stands by their 48 hour turnaround commitment, and it was really comforting to know that I'd have edits so soon after I submitted a secondary to the team. There also seems to be a lot of support in the background to make sure that students are covered if the primary consultant or writing support staff member is away for a few days -- everything was seamless and well communicated to me. Also, as a type-A person, I really appreciated SAC's organization and transparent communication. Overall, SAC made this process stress-free and manageable, which is priceless. Could not recommend more!

Medical School Admissions 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!

Worth it 1000000%. The service they offered was so worth it. Going into the med school application process, I was nervous and worried. People on reddit/SDN say to do so many different things. I had no idea what kind of schools I was competitive for or whether I had gaps in my application & experiences that I needed to fill. During the application cycle, I had so many questions about which experiences to write about in my secondary essays, and how to prep for MMIs and traditional interviews. My advisor addressed every single one of my questions and made sure I did everything as perfectly as possible for my applications. I also asked to be matched with an advisor who had served on an admissions committee at a top 10 school, and the company gladly obliged. My advisor gave me EXCEPTIONAL advice and throughout the cycle put me at ease and made me feel reassured. I ended up getting interviews at five top 10s and ultimately was admitted to my dream school!!!
