How much does diversity affect MF oncycle

Incoming ft at EB. Can't help but notice most of the people in my group that go to MF/HF are Diversity. Is that a sign that these places prefer Div Candidates? Should I focus on UMM/MM Funds instead?

I'm a semi-target with a 3.95 GPA and 780 GMAT. I am in the top group at my firm. Exits were very impressive but just nervous and whether I should focus on UMM/MM more

Can't speak on this but what resources did you use to prep for the GMAT and how long did it take you? That's an extremely impressive score. Feel pretty confident that you could easily secure top interviews with those credentials but I'm just an intern so I'm not qualified to offer good insight on this.

Been casually prepping junior spring and ramped up senior fall. It helped I graduated  a semester early and was able to solely focus on test prep. Used official guides and hand downs from people who used Manhattan prep
