It’s the new mom MLM.

I helped my unhooked kids senior year with apps and essays and they did really, really well. Both are at Ivies (RD admissions).

But, I knew both of my kids inside and out which is what helped them with topics and authenticity.  I cannot imagine doing this with strangers.  My kids also had all of the pieces and are motivated.  Imagine working with kids who don’t really want to be there and their parents hired you.

Frankly, AI will put you out of a job. [/quote]

It reminds me of how people think they want to be wedding planners after planning their own wedding. It’s not quite as fun when you have to deal with crazy, demanding people with unrealistic expectations.

I don’t live in the DC area and it’s not quite as big a phenomenon where I am, but the people who have used the one main person in my area who does this have had really middling results. I truly don’t understand what they paid for.[/quote]
