CollegePrepExpress's whole mission is to help students get into their first choice college. As the number of college and graudate school applicants continues to rise and the competition becomes stiffer, application essays and interviews take on increasing significance. Our lettters to guidance counselors and teacher recommenders, application writing support, and interviewing practice yield great bottom line results and give you, not admissions committees, the choice of which school you attend!

International students are particularly welcome at CollegePrepExpress. You do not need to feel disadvantaged by language or cultural barriers to entry to college and graduate school. We can help you organize your applications, make sure your essays conform to the rules and conventions of Standard Written English, and make the international application process easy!

Professional Letter to High School Guidance Counselors and Teacher Recommenders. Today's college guidance counselors and teachers writing letters of recommendation are sorely overburdened with students, each of whom deserves careful attention and time. In order to ensure they write the strongest, most emphatic, and most impressive letter in support of your candidacy as possible, CollegePrepExpress is proud to announce a new service that includes:

  • Transcript review and analysis
  • Standardized test scores review and analysis
  • One-on-one meeting with you and your parents to review your entire high school career, from grades to sports to extracurriculars to volunteer work to awards
  • Unlimited follow-up emails and phone calls
  • A personal, letterhead letter from Michael J. Youmans, Ph.D., to your guidance counselor and teachers who are writing letters for you, summarizing and highlighting all your strengths, explaining any weaknesses, and casting you in the best possible light! The letter will be accompanied by the following text:

Dear Guidance Counselor/Teacher,
As a high school teacher and college coach during the past two decades, I am pleased to attach a letter of reference on behalf of ___________________. If you are like most guidance counselors and teachers, you have a large and perhaps unwieldy number of students for whom you are writing letters to college in support of their candidacy. I have met extensively with ____________________ and his/her parents in an effort to review and analyze his/her high school career, and the attached letter is the result of that work. My intention in offering this letter to you is simply to provide you with another set of data to assist you in your efforts on behalf of ____________. Feel free to borrow, quote, or steal, as I will not be sending it directly to colleges.

Should you have any questions or should you like to discuss any of the information contained in my letter, I would be delighted to speak with you on the phone or arrange a visit to your school. I can be reached by phone (413-329-7540) or email (Mike@CollegePrepExpress.com).

Sincerely,

Michael J. Youmans, Ph.D.
