⭐️⭐️⭐️ Prospect · Underdog Archetype · Investment Banking Track
Columbia University · Track & Field 🏃 · Class of 2028
Nathan is one of the most intriguing “Underdog” archetypes in the entire Diamond League class — highly motivated, deeply
competitive, and used to doing more with less. His background tells you everything: a high school athlete without a coach,
self-training his way into earning Division I recruitment. That same mentality shows up in his interview presence, where he
consistently impresses with maturity, clarity, and quiet confidence.
His high ranking reflects strong early-season execution and exceptional interview performances, though it does slightly
overstate his consistency: Nathan submitted several assignments late and did not deliver at the level expected during the
Playoffs. Still, his résumé is one of the stronger ones in the class — with meaningful real estate private equity,
investment analysis, and leadership experience across Project Destined, MAP, and Columbia Alpha Partners.
With more consistent follow-through, Nathan has the potential to significantly outperform his projection. He’s a strong,
driven candidate whose best work often comes when his back is against the wall.
A 3-Star, Round 4–5 MAP prospect with meaningful upside — especially given his strong interviews and authentic Underdog DNA. Nathan’s competitiveness, drive, and adaptability give him a real shot to outperform expectations during the 2027 recruiting cycle. If he tightens his consistency and raises his technical polish, he has the ingredients to become a much stronger late-cycle investment banking candidate than his grade initially suggests.
