<p>I have perfect attendance for all 4 years of high school. The reason I ask this question is because the Common Application will only let me put a certain amount of awards/honors. I am debating on whether I should include my perfect attendance in this section. Do colleges really like students who have perfect attendance? Or is not that important?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I would consider to be important because it means you take the effort to be there everyday. That's quite an honor. I always get sick at least once a year =/ I could never do it.</p>
<p>If you have other awards to put instead, don't mention your perfect attendance. It's not that important. If you desperately need the space, though, it might not be a bad idea.
But I can't see it making a difference in admissions.</p>
<p>For my school, attendance is listed on the transcript so check and see if yours puts it on there as well.</p>
<p>If someone missed a day or two every week of school they might raise a question but I don't think it matters that much.</p>
<p>colleges value perfect GPAs... perfect ACTs... perfect SATs...
perfect attendance... not so much.
only use it if u need filler.</p>
<p>This has been discussed b4. Serendipity that you didn't get sick. How is this of particular value?</p>
<p>This is pretty impressive I have to say..haha. But I don't know if you should put it on your app..as you were simply fortuitous enough to avoid sickness. My friend had perfect attendance, but that's because he came to school with 104 degree fevers..</p>
<p>I doubt it.</p>
