Absolutely Worth It!

I truly wish I had engaged Shemmassian Consulting two application cycles earlier! The support, direction, and insights provided by my dedicated consultant were pivotal for my medical school application process this time around.Even though my MCAT score was average, with Shemmassian Consulting’s assistance, I secured numerous interview invitations from both MD and DO programs. They helped me identify which activities best showcased my personal strengths, making me a distinctive applicant. Their feedback enabled me to compose a personal statement that conveyed a unique and engaging story, which I believe was a major factor in my successful cycle. Beyond guiding me through the fundamental aspects of the application, my consultant also advised me on selecting recommenders, contemplating job changes, and deciding between two volunteer activities I was passionate about.By October of this cycle, I had to start declining interviews as I was accepted into several excellent DO programs. This allowed me to be selective and focus on the schools I was most interested in. I applied to only seven MD programs but received interview invitations from four of them and was waitlisted at each.My consulting team helped me craft timely letters of interest for each program during the application cycle. About a month after being waitlisted at my top MD choice at a state school, I was accepted. I expected to be anxiously waiting on the waitlist until the AMCAS deadlines, but thanks to Shemmassian Consulting, I can now concentrate on securing housing for the upcoming semester and enjoying time with family and friends.I never thought I would be accepted into a USMD program, but here I am. Dont wait until your third application cycle to seek help. It’s truly worth it!
