<p>I am applying to many UCs. What i dont understand is what type of rec letter s are required. Does it have to be 2 teachers? Or can it also be someone else, such as someone who i volunteered for, a coach, etc...</p>
<p>If anyone can help me out on this, it would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
<p>UCs don’t require acceptance letters. Nor do they want them. If you try to send reccomendation letters with your UC application, they get thrown out at the central office, before any admissions committee even sees your application.</p>
<p>Now, the colleges that do want reccomendation letters usually request 2 teacher reccomendations. Most allow you to submit a third optional letter, and that can be from anyone.</p>
<p>State colleges don’t want this useless paperwork.</p>
<p>The typical requirements (private U’s) are two teacher recs and one counselor rec. Some schools will let you submit recs from someone you know outside of schools as an ‘optional/additional rec’. Not all school do this, so make sure you do your research.</p>
<p>Thank you to both of you! :)</p>
