<p>Doesn't Berkeley need any recommendation letters? What about extra recommendations (I've done some research and my tutor might comment on my performance)?</p>
<p>No letters of recommendation are required for any UC.</p>
<p>they won't read 'em if u send them, they're to busy going throuhg like...50,000 applications</p>
<p>I would say you have a higher chance of not getting in if you send them, because that means you couldn't follow their directions.</p>
<p>It's not that the UCs don't "require" recommendations, they simply do not solicit them. If you send them, they will be immediately trashed. Note that UC applications go to a processing center before they reach each individual campus: your chances to Cal will be unaffected regardless of the fact that you sent your recommendations.</p>
