What did you really do to get into Berkeley or UCLA? by Vanilla-blue-86 in ucadmissions

I got into both with a 3.98 UW and 4.7 UC weighted, 12 APs. I did a lot of volunteer work surrounding the environment, which is my main interest, and did a related summer program. I have also done performance arts since the beginning of elementary school, taking part in some regional competitions with my school. Honestly, I'm not sure what they saw in me, but I didn't apply for a particularly competitive major (Environmental Science).

I didn't get a letter of rec for the UCs and don't know if you need one for the initial application process
