<p>Hello world!</p>
<p>I have a berkeley friend and when i'll apply there, he won't be there anymore.
So i was wondering if he makes me a recommendation letter, wil i get into or not?
I'm french.</p>
<p>See you !</p>
<p>Is the friend a head coach of a major sports team at Cal, or dean of a college, or recently won a nobel prize? Recommendations aren’t accepted for applicants, with only a small number of exceptions when Cal sends a request for supplemental information. If you receive a message asking for the supplemental information, it includes a link to a single online recommendation that you can have someone fill out. We believe people getting the supplemental request (a few percent of all applications) are very close to a positive admissions decision and the recommendation might help with a final small push. </p>
<p>Overall, I would guess that maybe one in five thousand applications might be pushed over the line from no to yes because of a recommendation. Concentrate on a great essay, good credentials from your school and extracurricular activities, and luck. These are much more likely to help you get accepted.</p>
