Should I apply on June 1st or wait until I get my Spring grade? I have my finals in mid june and I won't have the grade until 1-2 week after.
Do I need 135 quarter units before I apply (I have 127 but after Spring I'll have 148)? Thanks for your help.

I don't believe there is any restriction on the amount of credits you need.

And application opens June 3rd.

And there is no difference in applying June 3rd- End of June. Applications don't start to be fully reviewed untill the end of August when full staff are available.

I hope so too. But I look at the website of UCLA and it requires 135 credits. I'm not sure if that means before application or before matriculation 😕

Fill out your transcript request and say hold for spring credits so it will be sent to aadsas with your credit requirement. So when the school views your application in august-september it will have the correct amount.

Thats not true.. I got my first interview invite the first week of August and have a friend that had to interview invites in July. They definitely review before the end of August

You should apply without your Spring grades, that gives you the chance to submit first thing June 3rd. To be honest though it's all the same if you submit June 3rd or July 10th. It's just submitting past August makes it less likely you'll hear back for pre-Dec interviews.

If you are shooting for UCLA, which I assume you are, this might not hurt you at all. Their secondary goes out in September, and the earliest interview is offered in late October/early November.
