Looking for a trusted advisor to help you match to your top-choice residency?
The medical residency application process is tougher than ever, especially if you’re aiming for a competitive specialty like dermatology, plastic surgery, or ophthalmology. We've all heard stories of qualified applicants who didn't match to their desired speciality or matched to a program in an undesirable location.
After years of hard work throughout undergrad and medical school, passing your Step 1 exam, and obtaining strong letters of recommendation from your clinical supervisors, it’s important that you submit an excellent ERAS application so you can maximize your odds of matching to your dream program.
Our team of residency admissions consultants—all MDs who matched to competitive residency programs and are experienced admissions consultants—can support you with every aspect of your application and interviews. That way, you can go into Match Day knowing that you did everything you could to spend the next several years exactly where you want to be.
We don't simply offer editing services. Instead, we help you tell an engaging story through all of your
application materials about why you're uniquely fit to become a specialist in your chosen field.

What differentiates us from other residency admissions consultants
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 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 to submit. Now, most of our students' personal statements don't take that long to edit (most students need 3-4 rounds), but we want to emphasize that we'll do whatever it takes to help you match to the right place.
Fast Turnaround Times
We commit to our advertised 24- to 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 us technical admissions-related questions and sending us material for editing and review, you should never hesitate to reach out even if you just want to vent. The residency 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.

+ 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 2024-2025 cycle). 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?
Yes, you can indeed customize your plan. Just email contact@shemmassianconsulting.com with your specific needs.
+ What do you mean by 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 program on your list.
Strategic advising time refers to time counseling you over the phone. Unlimited advisor access allows you to send emails anytime, since we work nights, weekends, and holidays. We will do whatever it takes to help you match to your dream residency.
+ Will you help me prepare my MSPE-specific letters of recommendation that I am asked to draft for my recommender?
Yes, the Premium Plan includes unlimited brainstorming and editing for your self-written MSPE-specific recommendation letters as a bonus.
+ One or more of my recommenders asked me to self-write their letter. Will you help me edit that?
Yes, the Premium Plan includes edits on one self-written letter of recommendation.
+ I'm applying to two different specialties, so I need to produce two personal statements. Would you help me with that?
We can certainly help you with two different personal statements. In your case, you would sign up for the "2-specialty" version of our Premium Plan. The investment for that option is $5799.
+ I'm applying to a specialty that requires me to complete supplemental essays. Can you help me with that?
Yes, the Premium Plan includes comprehensive assistance with any supplementary materials required for your chosen specialty.
+ Do you offer Casper prep?
Yes, you can add comprehensive Casper prep to the Basic Plan or Premium Plan for an additional $400 investment.
