Transfer to UIUC from another institute

Hi there,

I am an undergrad at a state university in Florida. I want to transfer to CS at UIUC as a Junior, which means I have to have at least 60 credits. Application date is from Sept 1 to March 1. My question is when I apply, do I need to have at least 60 credits ALREADY, or I can include credits that I will be taking when I apply (for example, I have 50 credits,and I will be taking 12 in my fall term, which falls to Sept 1 -> March 1 period, applying time).

Which term should I apply, fall or spring, to enhance my chance of getting into CS at UIUC? I currently have 4.0 GPA in college, first generation student, U.S. permanent resident.

Thank you.
