When to apply

<p>Well folks, it's almost time to submit the applications for UC's and I don't have my essay completed yet. I was wondering if it mattered whether we turned in the application earlier in the month or at the end of the filing period. Does the early bird get the worm in this case? I would think not because they don't even make decisions until our fall grades are turned in, right?</p>

<p>Makes no difference whatsoever as long as you apply before the November 30 deadline passes. They won't even begin looking at the applications until after the fall grades have been updated in January and February.</p>

<p>That's what I thought, why do they even bother to take in applications so early then?</p>
