It means that by Dec1st UCLA should receive you application from SOPHAS and SOPHAS take about 4-6 weeks so this means that you should apply to SOPHAS by starting to mid October if you want to hit UCLA on Dec1st,sooner the better is the name of the game,better is the probability of yours getting admitted.

Deadlines
Apply Early! Processing for SOPHAS begins in the beginning of September each year but individual schools of public health have different deadlines. Check with individual schools’ admissions offices for the specific deadlines for your schools of public health designations. Submitting materials early will ensure timely processing and help avoid delays.
You should submit your application as soon as you have completed the online information. Processing will then begin when all required official transcripts, letters of recommendation, and payments are received by SOPHAS. It is your responsibility to ensure application materials and official transcripts meet designated deadlines. Once you have submitted payment, refunds cannot be made.
You should submit your materials before the deadlines. Though the processing time is usually shorter, during peak periods, it may take up to four (4) weeks to process your application and mail it to your designated schools of public health. Keep in mind that holiday and end-of-term schedules can also create backlogs in the registrar’s office that may delay the mailing of the transcripts. SOPHAS is not responsible for any materials lost in the mail or for delays caused by the registrar’s office. Express or certified mail does not obtain expedient processing nor does sending application materials or transcripts via express or certified mail guarantee receipt by SOPHAS.

also if you open sophas faq for US applicants you will find


  1. Do schools of public health have the same deadline?No, each school and its programs each have their own deadlines. You should also consider into your submission timeline that SOPHAS’s verification and processing time can take up to 4 weeks.






    So you can yourself conclude what does all this means....??????

Wish you luck

Actually, you just need to have all your materials to SOPHAS and UCLA by December 1. During that time of year SOPHAS verifies all materials in about two weeks - just about the same time that UCLA SPH begins processing and reading materials. While best to be earlier than December 1st in case there is a glich, December 1 is the due date materials should be sent to SOPHAS.
