<p>I just took a look at the info online about the ucla application. it doesn't seem to require any teacher or guidance counselor recommendations (we're supposed to fill out a preliminary transcript online). is that right? do people usually have a teacher send a recommendation via mail even if it isn't required?</p>
<p>The UC’s don’t require or accept teacher/guidance counselor recommendations.</p>
<p>You list your courses and grades onto the online application. Official transcripts are required only after you graduate from high school and matriculate into UC. Nobody has recommendations sent in as far as the typical undergraduate application goes.</p>
<p>thanks. i’m from out-of-state and all my other apps to state schools require a teacher/counselor rec so i wasn’t sure if i missed something when reading the requirements. </p>
<p>great. this makes my life a bit easier.</p>
