Confused about Prereq timing (for UC's)

Some background info:

I go to De Anza College (CCC)
I’m finishing up my third quarter there
I’m an aspiring Econ / Bus Econ major
I’m going to be working towards becoming TAP certified in the fall



I am a bit confused as to how the UC admissions will gauge our applications. I plan on applying this fall, but the question I have is will the UC’s pretty much only be looking at our first year’s worth of coursework? Will it significantly hurt my chances if I haven’t taken most of the major prereq by this fall? For UCLA, I still have English 1b and Calculus 1b left for my prereqs, but I was planning on taking those this fall.

I guess my question is essentially, how much does the timing of our completion of major prereqs really factor in?
