About us

Quality over quantity.

Telos is a boutique education consulting firm. We are backed by success stories in helping students attain transfer application offers from top U.S. universities and Ivy League colleges.

Our partners bring together insights from investment banking, tech, management consulting, scientific research, and medical school or PhD applications. We are experts, and we enjoy being compelling storytellers.

Above all else, we are barely older than you — so we are here to be resourceful to you as upperclassmen. Our past students reach out to us for job referrals, Wall Street connections, Silicon Valley tech interviews, to hang out over weekends, or just to chat about their careers.

Working with us is beyond the offers you will receive. It is a family, and a network.

Why us

What makes Telos different.

Insider knowledge from top U.S. schools

Peer-level mentorship

We're not here to lecture you — we're here to work with you. As recent graduates, we were in your shoes, and we remember exactly how the process felt.

Support that goes beyond admissions

Welcome to the network and the family. Our relationship doesn’t end after an offer letter — we stay in touch, offering support as your career takes shape.
