Dr. Shirag Shemmassian is a medical school admissions expert and founder of Shemmassian Academic Consulting.
Growing up with Tourette Syndrome in a middle-class family, Dr. Shemmassian was often mocked by peers and teachers and discouraged from applying to elite colleges. Therefore, he taught himself everything he needed to know to graduate debt-free with his B.S. in Human Development from Cornell and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA. Today, he and his team help high-achieving students get into top medical schools such as Harvard, Mayo, and UCSF.
