I submitted my UC application on the 29th, and it seemes like all my friends were receiving the request for a letter of reccomendation from Berkeley. I finally recieved the same request yesterday, but it was on my portal account instead of on email. The request was the exact same thing that was sent to my friends on their emails, word by word. Is the request common? Is it a good indicator? Why do u think i got the request on my portal instead of on email like most other people?
Take advantage of the opportunity to show UCB why you would be a good fit. Yes, it is a good indicator since they want more information about you. Are you sure the email did not go the junk/spam folder?
I don’t think where you found the request for LOR’s matters as much as the fact they requested them from you. They may be on the fence with your app, so definitely get them (good ones, from people that know you and can speak to your strengths) and submit them by the due date. Good luck!
Was your request “optional” or “required”? Mine was “required”. Trying to figure out why some are require and some are optional.
@WantInternship The email said requested.
