So simple question. I submitted my transfer UC application on November 28 which is like the last minute. Therefore, my question is do they review applications based on the submission date?
For example, if you submit your UC application around late November, are you gonna get a decision from UC late while some of the others get early decisions?
No, they really don’t start any earnest reviewing until after TAU submission.
@Ohm888 thank you!
I can attest that submitting later does not affect your decision date. I submitted my application on Dec 14 because I got an extension due to Camp Fire and I still was given my UCSB decision during the first round.
@HeyItsNick I did not apply to UCSB or UCSC.
@AeroDE I never said you did. I was just saying that late application does not = late decision. Good luck on your decisions!
@HeyItsNick im just saying that those uni’s doesn’t apply to me. Wish you the same! 
Also, I’m asking this because my sister who got transferred to UCB told me in a joking way that I and my cousin will get our decisions late since we submitted the TAU update and UC application last minute.
