<p>As a public high school student in California, the UC admissions process has been drilled into my head for years. I'm sure that I've been told several times that if you send a letter of recommendation to a UC, it will be thrown out (same goes for any type of portfolio, video, etc). But I've been told by several people that this is not true. I can't find the policy on the UC website (universityofcalifornia.edu).</p>
<p>Can anyone verify that UCs will not even look at letters of recommendations?</p>
<p>No they do not.</p>
<h1>Letters of recommendation.</h1>
<p>UC does not require or solicit letters of recommendation for undergraduate admission.</p>

<p>If your app is selected for Augmented Review (which means you are on the bubble), you can then submit a rec. You can also submit a rec if you are appealing the admission decision. Otherwise, No Recs.</p>
