Ok, so I received the following email today. I know that only students who are accepted get transcript request, but they sent me this email for an unofficial one. Is anyone familiar with these types of emails and what they mean?

They occasionally ask. As I said earlier, my working theory is a scholarship and they’re verifying GPA, but that’s just a wild guess. Don’t worry about it. But get it to them.
I just got this request yesterday for my transcript from the OOS CC I attended, but not the in state. My theory is that they want to properly evaluate my OOS work because it was non-articulated and on quarter system. Or they are checking to be sure the classes I retook at second CC were equivalents.
At any rate, I have a confusing and long academic history, so I’m not surprised. I’m happy to know they’re still considering me and I’m not already in all the “no” piles.
I think of it this way…at least we know they’re looking at our apps. Hopefully, that’s good news. If they weren’t interested, why would they ask? My gosh. Sometimes, I wish that someone who worked this process in the past could spill the beans for us so we wouldn’t have to always guess what things mean; the guessing is killing me.
I’m not really nervous about where I get in or don’t. I have already accepted UCLA isn’t going to happen for me since I saw the admissions info from last years pool. I know I’ll at least get into riverside (my safety).
What I’m nervous about is having one month to pick a school if I get into more than one. And having only four
months to facilitate a job transfer for myself, new job for the bf, and a place to live.
I’m a planner. Big time. Not knowing what city I will be moving to in August is giving me ulcers.
Is it always “unofficial transcripts” they want you to send? they did not specify on mine.
