She's gotta be a nepo baby, no?

It's weird.

Otherwise in what world is a La Guarida HS grad who went to Connecticut College and transferred to Penn doing college admissions professionally at nineteen?

Really strongly suspect that she initially built her brand trading off of the Koppelman name and how it lands in NY circles.

It's absurd. Comments like: "The Highest Acceptance Rate of Any College Admissions Consulting Firm" or "Every family member and friend whose application she touched gained admission to their number one school, and once those Stanford and Harvard acceptance letters came in, she knew she needed to start a business."

Idiots. If you look at their online blog materials and such they are fairly inaccurate. They do a good job preying on anxious parents. Not as bad as Crimson which in particular preys on Asian parents but not good.
