Extracurricular Activities Presentation The talk by Dr. Shemmassian was so engaging! It really opened my eyes up to how complex extracurricular activities are on the medical school application and how important it is to have a theme. I learned a lot about examples of successful applications and how to apply them to my own experiences.

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.

Very personal and responsive support - admitted to the Renaissance SOM The Shemmassian team gave me impressive support throughout the whole application process. They looked at my application and helped curate a list of schools that were realistic, were very attentive when helping me edit my primaries and secondaries, and guiding me through high yield and more nuanced interview questions (both traditional and MMI). They also made sure that I was emotionally supported. Overall it gave me peace of mind knowing I could rely on this team and made the whole process significantly less stressful. I would highly recommend their services.

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.

Shemmassian helped me get 6 interviews Shemmassian helped me get 6 interviews, 3 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Successful cycle. Highly recommend because advice in medical school applications is paramount.
