<p>I have a very poor attendance, however, I have been managing good grades.</p>
<p>I was wondering if colleges see attendance record.... And Do you think a few excused absents would hurt my recommendations from my teachers?</p>
<p>It depends on whether your school lists on the transcript. As it is very school-specific, ask your GC.</p>
<p>Agreed, you need to see what your HS includes on its transcript. You can ask to see a copy of the transcript that will be sent out to colleges. Talk to your guidance counselor. In terms of the impact of absences on recommendations, you have to take that up with the individual teachers. "A few excused absences"should not be an issue but “very poor attendance” might be. In addition the reason behind the absences would likely have a bearing on things (for example a series of absences would probably be regarded in a different light if a student is dealing with a chronic health issue versus a student who simply sleeps late and skips school).</p>
