Berkeley Teacher Recs?

<p>found this on berkeley's Prospective Freshmen FAQs:</p>

<p>"Does Berkeley require teacher or counselor recommendations? Should I have an interview?
No. If we need more information from you, we’ll let you know. We also don’t conduct admissions interviews."</p>

<p>too good to be true?</p>

<p>This is true. No UCs require recs.</p>

<p>Yes, I was very surprised to find that out recently--not even from the counselor. Each school is different for recs, as several my son's applying to want only 1.</p>
