My biggest worry is that my Quant score is relatively low for Berkeley and my major not being quant focussed makes this worse (though I did take lots of math, engineering and business/finance classes). Any suggestions/words of advice very welcome.
Anyway, good luck to all!
Hi there, I would use the supplemental essays to explain all the quant work you did and intensity of it. Also, if possible I would ask reccomenders to back up the claim as well.
Also other essays are good place to display that. For example one of the Haas's defining principal is "Confidence without attitude" and one of the key definition for that is "We make decisions based on evidence and analysis". This is clearly reflected in their E3 and you can use it to display how you proposed a change and supported it with some solid data analysis. This way you will kill two birds with one stone. Culture fit and display your quant skills.
I hope this helped.
