UC Berkeley requested letter of rec

I know the answer to this question would be mostly speculation at this point, but what exactly does it mean if Berkeley requested letters of rec for me? I’m already unnerved by the college admissions process, and I don’t know anyone else who has encountered this yet, so I just wanted to know what it meant.

I have seen several students post on CC that have received a request. Many have outstanding Stats but since this is the 1st year that LOR’s are being requested, it is anyone’s guess.
