S2: EP26: A Passion For Medicine

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.
