<p>So.. I am often tardy, and I do miss school. But i have a great transcript..</p>
<p>Do colleges look at attendance records??</p>
<p>I don't know, but it's a great question. You sound like one of my good friends. NEVER in school on a Monday... or a Friday. But, is very smart and gets great grades.</p>
<p>You're counselor may mention it in a secondary school report. Also, when it comes time for your teachers to write recommendations they may mention it also.</p>
<p>"XXX seems like he/she could accomplish a lot if they just showed up regularly."</p>
<p>It doesn't sound like a stellar endorsement.</p>
<p>It shows the number of absences on my transcript</p>
<p>While your transcript may list tardies and absences (which would obviously hurt you), I would expect that the poor letters of rec will be the most damning way your attendance record will hurt you.</p>
<p>My guess is that it would depend on your transcript, because unlike GiggitusMaximus my absences were not shown on my transcript (and I was freaking out all four years, because freshman year I missed over 40 days, then a bit less sophomore year, and so on).</p>
<p>It may to be included like how hellojan said too. In general though, no, I don't think most colleges make it a priority to know how many days of school you missed/been late to.</p>
<p>Colleges do not care about your HS attendance.</p>
<p>No. I missed 1/2 of my entire senior year and I still got in.</p>
