⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All-Star Investment Banking Prospect
Stanford University · Sailing · Class of 2028
Ava Cornell is a high-potential early Stanford prospect with leadership, technical curiosity, and an execution profile that signals strong long-term upside in finance. Her MAP performance shows steady improvement across technical challenges, with IB exam progression trending in the right direction — especially impressive given the jump from a 46% intro exam to multiple perfect 100s across later skill assessments. Ava has already gained exposure through Vista Equity’s investment fellowship, where she has delivered CIM-aligned workstreams, diligence tasks, and assumptions modeling — all strong markers of deal-oriented thinking at an early stage. As a decorated varsity sailor and two-time national champion, she brings discipline, poise under pressure, and competitive drive that translates naturally to IB workflow environments.
Ava profiles as a compelling sophomore-track candidate with significant development runway. With continued reps through Vista and MAP case challenges, she projects to become a polished interview performer capable of competing at top banks. If she sustains her growth curve, Ava should be competitive for Summer 2027 IB processes and could evolve into a high-impact analyst with time and deal volume. A strong long-term bet for any early pipeline team.
