Thanks! What do you think about internships vs GRE vs research? Is there an order in which the committee prefers
Not specific to this program but from what I know from info sessions and chats with admissions officers is that internships and research are all subjective. They usually like to say they take a holistic approach.

A published math paper in a major journal is probably worth more than one year of experience at a no-name wealth management firm and 8 weeks at an HFT is probably worth more than a year long business thesis.

GRE is pretty safe to say that its not a leading component anywhere, probably used more as a filter or tiebreaker.

That’s true… hope we get to hear something this week
 
I just got accepted!!

I noticed the status disappeared from my portal this afternoon and got an email saying there was a status update a few hours later.. good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!
Congratulations 🎉 I might be a bit behind but what do you mean “status disappeared from my portal” ?
 
My current status just disappeared.. Is that any good news? did anyone else's disappear too?

While I can’t remember 100% I think mine disappeared too. I can’t find the words “Current Status” anywhere. That being said, I haven't ever gotten a "has been moved to review" status or notification. Not sure if that means anything.
