No, this is incorrect. You must have at least one PR *pushed into the codebase*. See https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/gsoc-2014-application-template.
Perhaps you are confused by the deadline mismatch. The deadline for opening the PR is the same as the student application deadline (March 21), and the deadline for that pull request to be merged is the same as the date that Google announces accepted students (April 7). This is done because actual merging depends on reviewing manpower, which is sometimes lacking. But if you start now, you should find it easy to do both before either of those days.
