Overview

Sara is an exciting raw-talent prospect with standout athletic discipline, strong bilingual communication ability, and a steep technical development curve through MAP’s IB pipeline. A top-performer in interview rounds during the Morgan Stanley Skills Challenge, she has already demonstrated composure under pressure and the ability to process feedback quickly — characteristics that translate well into banking environments. Her aerospace engineering academic track is rigorous, and pairing that with finance-focused fellowship experience positions her as a uniquely analytical profile capable of thriving in quantitatively demanding deal teams. With continued resume depth and project experience, Sara has the potential to mature into a strong long-term analyst candidate.

Projection

Sara projects as a high-upside developmental prospect whose ceiling rises quickly with additional finance internship exposure. Her MAP trajectory already shows technical improvement and polish — especially impressive given her engineering academic load. With continued reps in IB casework, summer finance experience, and resume expansion, she could become a competitive Summer 2027 analyst candidate with strong long-term potential for high-performance front-office roles.
