UC Berkeley Rec Glitch

Hey guys,

So i was emailed that I was NOT selected to submit letters of rec for UC Berkeley. However when I logged into my account this morning they offered me the option to submit 2 letters of rec.

Glitch? Miracle? What’s going on?

The same happened to me too. Apparently when you use a particular link, it invites you to send a letters of rec, but some people are saying it’s a glitch and that it’s better to not send the letters of rec at all if they didn’t formally send you an email request. I’m just hoping someone can shed some light on this soon.

Are there any updates on this matter? Should we send recommendation letters until January 15?

Has anyone contacted Berkeley about this?

I just emailed Berkeley regarding this issue and this came back in the automated reply:
Thank you for your email. This email box is checked daily. If you recently submitted a freshman application for admissions and are experiencing technical issues with the Letter of Recommendation link, please allow for 24 - 48 our team to address your technical concern.

I guess this means that they are aware of the issue.
