Current freshman at Cal here. The general consensus from last year was that the LOR requests were random, just like the supplemental information requests from other UCs were.

Both people with terrible stats w/no chance of getting in and people with near-perfect stats received LOR requests, not just “borderline” applicants. If you received the request then by all means you should submit them, but be aware that the requests do not indicate your likelihood of being accepted.
