<p>Has anyone heard of colleges looking at your attendance records, or rejecting someone for poor attendance? A friend told me they do, but that seems ridiculous...</p>
<p>Well, they certainly could, although I don't know why they ever would. At my school, attendance records are included on every transcript. Unless there are excessive unexplained absences on one's record, I'm sure colleges don't care.</p>
<p>If someone says in a rec that you repeatedly skipped their class, then sure. But unless you've got a real problem with skipping school then I don't see why.</p>
