In terms of the UCs do prereqs need to be completed before transfer or before you apply?

Let’s say I finish about 85% of my prereqs by the time I apply (Fall). Do I have the option to finish the rest during the next semester (Spring) while I wait to see if I got in? If so, by notifying admission that I finished the rest of my prereqs after spring sem will that boost my chances of acceptance? Pls help! Thanks!

ps.
-major is molecular bio
-gpa: 3.87 (Currently)
-looking at uc berk & Ucla

You have until spring to finish. They calculate what was completed via your TAU.

The spring sem for my cc ends around may 23, but letters of acceptance for transfers are sent around march1-may1. So will my spring classes have any affect on my chances of acceptance?

Your admission offer will be conditional on completion of the previously reported in-progress courses with sufficiently high grades.
