By When Should my Fafsa be Completed when Applying to The UC's & USC?

<p>I get the feeling the UC's don't need the Fafsa till March 2nd while I'm guessing USC wants it the same day the transfer application is due on Feb. 2nd.</p>

<p>True? </p>

<p>I ask cause im obviously a dependent and my mom kinda lags it on her taxes, so i know sooner is def. better, but would like a definitive answer.</p>
