When someone joins a school, club, or team because they meet the requirements, it means they are allowed to become a member. For example, if a student is chosen to study at a university, it means the university lets them become a student there.
People often say "I got into Harvard" or "She got into the soccer team" to share good news about being accepted somewhere special.
