Personalized College Application Guidance from a Princeton Graduate

Turning
Reach
into
Reality

"I felt the way you probably do–with everything else going on this time of of year–tests, papers, college applications–the last thing I needed was someone to "help" me with my college essay....and shouldn't it be from me, anyway?  How is someone going to help me do something that's innately mine?  And did I mention that I don't have the time??  I was wrong. So wrong.  Jacob helped me to focus myself–he provided a sounding board for my thoughts, a filter for what could work, a brainstorming partner for angles...  and the confidence to go off and do this.  What I ended up with was an essay that was all mine–and all me–but I honestly don't know if I could have pulled it together without him.  It was probably the best investment in time I could have made during this process."

ABOUT ME

My name is Jacob Katz, and I recently graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University.  

 

Each admission season, I help a handful of high school seniors gain admission to America's top universities. My students receive my personal phone number, and I never outsource their essays to be reviewed by others. I founded my consultancy because I love crafting stories and encouraging students to discover their voices. Having personally gone through the admissions process in recent years, I am well familiar with its accompanying high stakes and overwhelming angst.  I pride myself on providing first class, effective guidance which helps students reach their greatest milestone yet. 

​

I grew up in Florida, and I served as a Paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces before my undergraduate enrollment. I am an incoming Associate at the Boston Consulting Group.
