The UC/CSU Package
- 10 hours of essay and application editing
- Tailored for UC and Cal State applicants
- Covers all 4 UC essay prompts and 20 activity descriptions
- Strategies for choosing majors at each school
The UC/CSU Package is a targeted program for students applying to UC’s and Cal States.
While the Cal State Application is relatively simple, the UC Application is anything but. This is because students must write 4 essays from 8 prompts and up to 20 descriptions for extracurricular activities and awards. Additionally, many students don't know what UC's are actually looking for, thereby missing crucial opportunities to highlight their strengths and experiences.
This program ensures students will put their best foot forward in their UC and CSU applications from start to finish.
The Plus Package
- 50 hours of essay and application editing
- Up to 20 colleges
- Includes Early Action and Early Decision assistance
- Common, Coalition, and UC Applications
- School-specific applications (e.g. MIT, Georgetown, etc.)
The PLUS Package is Telos’s premier college application program. It's exactly what students need to stand out in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Starting as early as the summer before 12th grade, students will have bi-weekly meetings to strategize how to best tell their story in a way that colleges can’t ignore.
PLUS students typically apply to anywhere from 12 to 20 colleges, which could easily mean over 30 different essays, short responses, and questionnaires. The PLUS Package covers all of those and more.
With an ample 25 hours of counseling, essay editing, and application review, PLUS provides peace of mind for both parents and students since no stone will go unturned in the application process.
Hourly Consultations
- Flexible, customizable support

Students who are looking for a la carte help can schedule individual sessions by the hour, subject to availability.

Can parents participate in the sessions and consultations?
Parents are an important part of any student's college admissions journey and are welcome to attend all initial consultations.
