Lisa Ransdell started working with my son while he was a freshman at Cherry Creek High School. They discussed high school graduation requirements and general admission requirements of colleges. She encouraged him to think about his high school education as a whole and start planning what classes he wanted and needed so that he would be prepared when the time came to apply to colleges. She also pushed him to think about his extracurricular activities and expand these beyond sports. He is now a sophomore and is involved in student senate, has started some volunteer work and has applied to programs outside of school…. Lisa really got my son on the right track for college. Her education and background make her a wonderful resource, and we will continue to work with her until our son is off to college. ~Jen Geraghty
Dear Lisa: My first semester at Villanova has been amazing! I have gotten really involved in the school community and really like all my classes. They are very small and I have really gotten to know my teachers and classmates. Even though I am an engineering student, I got to take Spanish and English. Campus is small enough that I recognize people wherever I go, but big enough that I still meet new people every day. This summer, I am studying abroad with the school, going to Spain for two months and living with a host family in Madrid. I will be working at an internship during the week and traveling over the weekend. I am so excited! You were so helpful with my college search. I am so glad that you suggested Villanova, because I would have never found it otherwise! ~Lara, Arapahoe HS grad
Applying and gaining admission to college is one of most important times in your child’s life to help secure their future. The application process can be confusing and extremely time consuming for the child and the parents. My son had already decided on several colleges, but the applications, with their required essays, had to be done. We were all extremely busy and we needed help.
Lisa provided my son with expertise and guidance in completing his college essays and applications. She kept him track and her knowledge and insight was priceless. As such, my son gained admission to every university to which he applied. Additionally, she helped us find potential scholarship avenues.
Simply put, Lisa was awesome. We will definitely be calling her when it is time for our younger son to apply to college. Howard Miller, Dad of a future CSU freshman, class of ’15
