MADELEINE COLE

Overview

Madeleine is a high-upside Hustler archetype with elite academic strength (3.94 GPA), strong communication instincts, and one of the most relentless improvement mindsets in the entire Diamond League class. She began rowing later than most Division I athletes, yet accelerated quickly through sheer discipline — early mornings, late nights, and a refusal to be outworked. That same mentality has defined her MAP performance.

She consistently reached out to Student Support with thoughtful, high-quality questions — not for hand- holding, but for precision. She submitted nearly every Extra Rep assignment, demonstrates strong curiosity, and showed maturity in seeking clarification before executing.

As a Diamond League Captain, she handled the responsibility well, though she occasionally struggled more than typical captains to keep pace with team-level bandwidth demands. Even so, she delivered clean valuation work, led high-quality analyses in the Point72 competition, and earned rare “hire within 24 hours” ratings across superday-style mock interviews — a genuine sign of front-office readiness.

Madeleine’s combination of GPA, communication, resilience, and work rate creates a compelling Round 2–3 prospect with clear potential to rise into Round 1 territory as her team-based efficiency sharpens.
