On today’s show, I have a wonderful conversation with Dr Shemmassian, CEO of Shemmassian Academic Consulting and one of the world’s foremost experts on medical school admissions, college admissions, and graduate school admissions.

Dr Shemmassian is a son of Armenian Immigrant parents, from LA, and went to a private all-Armenian school. He was encouraged by his parents to work hard, get a steady job with benefits for security.

While in high school, Dr. Shemmassian took a keen interest in the higher education process. He navigated the admissions process with limited college counselling and became the only Ivy League graduate in his high school’s nearly 60-year history.

Throughout his education and beyond, Dr. Shemmassian successfully guided students into top colleges, medical schools, and graduate programs, and has found his professional calling in helping others achieve their educational and career goals.

For nearly 20 years, he and his team have helped thousands of students get into medical school and top colleges using his systematic and proprietary approach.
