Looking for a trusted advisor to help you get into dental school?
Getting into dental school is hard. We've all heard stories of qualified applicants who didn't get in anywhere.
Having a strong GPA and DAT score, conducting research, shadowing dentists, doing tons of extracurriculars, and getting great recommendation letters is unfortunately not enough. There is so much conflicting information online about what it takes to get into dental school. How do you know what’s accurate?
Even worse, you may be stressing yourself out by comparing yourself to other students out of worry that you're missing something critical to getting in. Despite feeling like every other dental school applicant has accomplished at least as much as you have, we can help you stand out to get admissions committees' attention.
Our highly individualized, data-driven, and exclusive approach to admissions consulting will allow you tell an engaging story through all of your application materials about why you're uniquely fit to become a physician.
In fact, for nearly 20 years, over 90% of our students have gotten into AT LEAST one U.S. dental school—the first time they apply!

How we support our students
Once our students complete the application process, we like to have a debriefing conversation with them to understand how we can support students better and better each year. The three points our students consistently mention about why they appreciated our support—beyond our students' 90+% success rate—are:
Reputation For Quality
When we say "unlimited" essay support, we mean it. We once edited a student's personal statement 14 times until it was strong enough. Now, most of our students' personal statements don't take that long to edit (most students need 4-5 rounds), but we want to emphasize that we'll do whatever it takes to help you get in.
Fast Turnaround Times
We commit to our advertised 48-hour turnaround times. Whether your primary advisor is ill or has to deal with an emergency, you send your essay before a major holiday, or anything else, someone is available to step in and support you.
Total Support
In addition to asking technical admissions-related questions and sending material for editing and review, we invite you to reach out even if you just want to vent. The med school admissions process is intellectually and emotionally tough. We want you to get into your dream school, and also to feel optimistic, motivated, and supported throughout.

Frequently asked questions
+ How long will my support last?
Your support will begin immediately after you sign up and go through one continuous application cycle (e.g., the 2021-2022 cycle), that is, until the moment you've heard back from the last school. Therefore, the earlier you sign up, the longer you'll receive support.
+ None of the plans above fit my needs. Can I create a custom plan?
The listed plans were developed based on nearly 20 years of observed student needs. However, we would be glad to customize your plan. Just email contact@shemmassianconsulting.com with your specific needs.
+ What do you mean by unlimited strategic advising and unlimited advisor access?
Your advising team will be with you every step of the way, from the moment you sign up until you hear back from the last school on your list. You may send emails or request phone calls any time. You may also send essays any time, since we work nights, weekends, and holidays. We will do whatever it takes to help you get into med school.
+ I'm applying to another type of dual degree program (eg, DDS/MBA, DDS/MPH). Do your plans include support with dual degree program essays?
Yes, the Premium Plan and Ivy Plan include support with dual degree program essays.
+ Do you have experience supporting non-traditional applicants?
Yes, we have supported many non-traditional applicants.
+ Do you offer CASPer prep?
