"My goal is that each one of my clients ends up at the school that fits him or her best--whichever of the thousands of institutions of higher learning that may be.  I hope my impact will be that each one of my clients discovers that there are so many different paths to success and so many different definitions of success, that ultimately each will be successful according to his or her own definition." 
- Jason Katz


JKatz College Counseling is an independent college counseling firm located in Silicon Valley and offering personal, customized services to high school and college students seeking thoughtful guidance on the complex and challenging process of choosing an appropriate institution of higher learning.

One-on-one consulting with Jason Katz emphasizes providing information tailored to your situation so that you can get into the best college for YOU.  Providing customized information at every step of this important process has the added benefit of lessening stress for both students and their parents. The goal is not just getting through the process, but also growing from and enjoying it. By providing expert, one-on-one consulting, Jason can significantly reduce the amount of stress created by the increasingly competitive world of college admissions.
