Sending in transcripts before application?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I called the UH registrar's office with my question but their registrar's office is closed for the break so I thought I'd ask here and maybe there's a general rule for the answer not necessarily specific to my university.</p>

<p>I want to apply to UH as a US transfer student for the fall (2015) semester. The application opens up on January 2nd (so in two weeks). It says that they have rolling admissions and that they accept/reject you within 7-10 business days upon completing the application. It is helpful to me if I hear back ASAP so that I can tour the school (if I get accepted) before I start back up my Fall semester on January 20th. I would like to ask which of these two options are better:</p>

<p>[x] Send my transcripts from all previous colleges attended to UH right now. Start and finish the online UH application on January 2nd.</p>

<p>[y] Wait until January 2nd. Start and finish the online UH application on January 2nd and send transcripts (on that same day) immediately after.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would do the first one if you want to here back as soon as possible. They’ll hold all materials until your application is complete.</p>
