About ReadMyStudent
Recommendation letters should feel human — not like a scramble.
ReadMyStudent is a secure recommendation letter platform built to reduce stress for students and overload for faculty—without compromising confidentiality or trust.
Consent-first • Secure by design • Built for academic trust
Why we built this
Recommendation letters sit at the intersection of trust, opportunity, and anxiety. Students are asking for support in a high-stakes moment, and faculty are trying to help while juggling dozens of competing demands.
The current workflow wasn’t designed for today’s application volume: scattered portals, repeated reminders, mismatched deadlines, and sensitive files traveling through inboxes.
ReadMyStudent exists to make the process calmer and more reliable—while preserving integrity and confidentiality.
Our guiding principle
Every recommendation link should be uniquely generated and single-use—so access is clear, controlled, and auditable.
This closes link sharing, replay submissions, and accidental misuse—without adding complexity for faculty.
WHAT WE OPTIMIZE FOR
- Human experienceReduce anxiety for students and reduce repetitive work for faculty.
- Trust and integrityConsent-first sharing with clear ownership and auditability.
- Security by defaultSensitive letters belong behind strong controls, not email threads.
- Practical workflowsSimple flows that work in real application seasons.
A few quick clarifications
Is it free for faculty?
Yes. Faculty access is free. The goal is to reduce workload and friction, not add a new burden.
Who controls access to letters?
Students control who receives a link. Faculty control the letter content and can set sharing/approval rules.
Why single-use links?
Single-use links prevent forwarding, replay submissions, and ambiguity. It’s the simplest way to keep trust intact.
What’s the main benefit?
A calmer workflow: fewer reminders, fewer portal headaches, clearer deadlines, and safer sharing.
