She is here for the men. She makes that unmistakably clear. She goes straight in and makes her move without hesitation. And her approach works: She’s already scored numbers from five eligible bachelors – all of them unabashedly intrigued by what she has to offer. She’s straightforward, unapologetic and confident. And she’s starting to get

Eight-year-old Laura Funk Zucker ’06 (M.A.T.) turned around to see her parents, but the door to the hallway where they’d just kissed her goodbye was closed. She looked around in a panic.
