<p>So, I want to transfer to UCLA or Berkeley from a community college in Southern California and the time for applications grows near. Regarding letters of recommendation, rather then just a counselor or professor, I was wondering if a letter from a doctor would having any meaning? I am pre-med so I'm going to shadow a doctor I met pretty soon. Would it be retarded to have him write it? Or a plethora of brilliance and innovation upon my behalf?</p>
<p>The UC’s don’t require LOR (nor do they want them).</p>
<p>Oh, well now that is embarrassing. I was looking at Stanford, and I suppose that’s why I just assumed UC’s did as well. So it’s just the Ivies and privates that require them?</p>

<p>Transfer Students > UC Transfers.</p>
<p>flower… what does that even mean?</p>
<p>riley… schools that require LoRs require LoRs. UC is not one of those schools.</p>
