<p>Applying to: Cal, Davis, UCLA</p>

<p>i only really care about Cal, so it’s hit or miss for me, even if i get into ucla and not cal, i woudl just go to davis. what are my chances? also are there letters of rec needed for cal? my teacher the other day asked me if i needed a letter of rec for berkeley cuz it really helps. i didn’t know you needed letters of rec but is there a backdoor for that or something? last question, which might be a stupid one but, what is TAP? thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think Berkeley considers recs – at least not for incoming freshmen (maybe not so for transfers, but probably not). It’s a slight reach, I’m thinking, but I don’t know too much about transfers. Davis is a match/safe match, and UCLA is maybe a slight reach, too.</p>

<p>TAP is a program that says that if you complete requirements X, Y, and Z, you get a serious admission advantage.</p>

<p>Letters of rec. are not used for transfer admission.</p>

<p>UCLA/Cal: Match</p>
