Confusion on UCR TAG status

My TAG response for UCR just got posted. I’ll paste it at the end of this post.

Just wanted to clarify, this is not an official acceptance, but a “if you keep up the work and meet the requirements in spring, your application will be reviewed as a TAG applicant when actually review apps” ???

Also, where can I indicate TAG submission on the UC application?
Thanks guys!!!

Dear ayylmaoooo,

Please note that as a TAG applicant, you will receive priority evaluation of your UC application.
UC Riverside will notify you of your transfer admission decision beginning in March 2018. Students

as a general transfer applicant. If, for any reason, you are unable to meet the conditions of the
TAG criteria, an offer of admission will depend on your completion of transfer admission
requirements and selectivity in the applicant pool.
