UC apps and recommendation letters

<p>I am a senior this year, and looking forward to applying to UCs</p>

<p>Soon enough, I hope to ask 2 of my teachers for recommendation letters. UCs do accept rec. letters right?</p>

<p>If so, do they provide the format.. or am I supposed to supply it for the teacher? or Should the teacher already know the format? I've read other threads about recommendation letters but really none have talked about the format (or perhaps I read too quickly).</p>

<p>I work as an optometrist assistant, and would it be okay to ask my boss also (the doctor) for a rec. letter, especially since he went to UC Berkeley?</p>

<p>UCs do not require teacher recs.</p>

<p>Not only do the UCs not require recs, they won't accept them if sent anyway</p>

<p>ohh okie thanks !!</p>

<p>UCs won't accept GC recs, either.</p>

<p>If you are nominated for a Regent's Scholarship, you will be able to send a recommendation.</p>
