Hello i am a student who has just turned in his uc application in late november. Out of curiosity, i was wondering how the ucs determine the order in which the applications is reviewed. Is it alphabetical, random, by gpa, or the order it was received? In that case, i am guessing it will be beneficial to turn the app in early. Also does it differ by school? Thanks in advance
I think its random.
It does not matter if you submit it at the last possible millisecond, it will not affect your chances.
As to if it varies by schools, i.e by last name, CC, GPA, I honestly have no idea.
