OPTIMUS LEARNING SCHOOL
INQUIRY FORM
At Optimus, we are here to provide you with the best possible opportunity to gain entrance into the college of your choice by completing your application for you. Whether you want to attend an Ivy League school or a UC, we will apply for admission to the school of your choice. At Optimus, we want to make your transition to higher level education as easy and as memorable as possible. Let us take the stress of college applications off of you by letting us complete your application to a top college.
We can even take care of your Early Admission application for you. The application can be submitted to the College of your choice while you are still attending High School. This type of application is very important because you can only submit one Early Admission application to the school that you want to attend. Let us help you with your pursuit of a great college experience by helping you get into the college of your dreams!
At Optimus, we understand that the cost of college can be overwhelming. Our goal is to help you explore the best options to finance your education. We assist with submitting the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine if you qualify for government aid. Federal student loans, both subsidized and unsubsidized, may also be available. With a subsidized federal loan, the government covers the interest while you’re enrolled in school. An unsubsidized loan requires you to pay interest during school, though you can defer payments until after graduation. Additionally, we can explore other options like Parent Plus loans or Perkins loans to help with funding.
Scholarships are another great way to reduce college costs, and at Optimus, we’ll help you identify those that match your background. Scholarships are often based on factors such as financial need, racial background, field of study, extracurricular activities, or personal achievements—not just your GPA. We will find the scholarships you qualify for to ease the financial burden of attending a top college. Furthermore, grants may be available, which are a fantastic way to minimize student debt. When we assist with your FAFSA, you’ll be made aware of all grants you are eligible for.
Additionally, we provide guidance with the CSS Profile, which is required by many private colleges and universities to determine your eligibility for institutional financial aid, including grants and scholarships.
When you choose the college that you want to attend, we will help you write your Personal Statement. The purpose of a personal statement is to show college admissions who you are as a person. This gives them a better idea of whether or not you would be a good fit at their school. This is an essay that is part of your application package and will be sent to the college you are applying to. When writing your personal statement essay, we will focus on two important items that most admission officers look for: 1). Providing evidence of your achievements that are not reflected in other parts of your admission application, and 2). How and why the events that you describe have shaped your attitude, focus, creativity, and intellect.
Nearly all high schools in California now have a community service requirement included. This means that a certain number of community service hours must be performed and recorded by the time students reach the end of their senior year. For most students, school schedules only become more hectic the closer they get to graduation. So, we always recommend that students begin working on their community service hours during their freshman year and complete them as soon as possible. We can help students get these hours in a consistent, reliable way. Join an Optimus instructor once a month to complete 4 hours of community service. At the end of the year, students will receive a certificate from Someone Cares Soup Kitchen for their completed hours. This is an easy, fun, and meaningful way for students to fulfill their community service requirement.
