Kaitlyn Liu

Overview

Kaitlyn brings one of the most well-rounded resumes in the Pro Bowl cohort — academically elite with a 3.95 GPA, proven analytical horsepower, and repeated validation in competitive spaces (Morgan Stanley + Wells Fargo MAP tracks, Nomura & Goldman insights, Trott IB Program, and 1st-place EY-Parthenon Case Competition). She blends finance, strategy, and behavioral science thinking, giving her a differentiated ability to analyze markets not only quantitatively, but behaviorally. Mature, composed, and consistently sharp in deliverables — a standout who executes like an upperclassman while still early in the pipeline.

Strengths

• High academic ceiling with 3.95 GPA and dual-degree track — rigorous coursework + strong consistency.
• Already building meaningful finance traction through Morgan Stanley/Wells Fargo + Wall Street Prep foundations.
• Winner of EY-Parthenon Case Competition — demonstrated structured thinking, modeling, and go-to-market strategy ability.
• Research experience + Student Managed Fund exposure — comfort working with data, insights, and thesis formation.
• Resident Assistant leadership + consulting projects — maturity, communication clarity, community builder.

Areas for Development

• More direct deal execution exposure will sharpen fluency in modeling under pressure and pace.
• Continue building on technical training by expanding into live LBO/M&A reps and hands-on transaction work.
• Opportunity to leverage psych/behavioral insight to differentiate as storyteller in pitches and investment narratives.

Projection

Kaitlyn projects as a future front-office contributor with the toolkit to interview well today and accelerate quickly with more deal exposure. Her finance fundamentals, academic rigor, and demonstrated leadership make her a deeply competitive Round 1 prospect — one of those MAP fellows who could realistically convert into IB or strategic finance long-term with continued reps. Safe bet, high upside, high floor.
