<p>From the beginning from freshman yr to end of sophomore year I have 10 tardies and 1 absense...is that bad? I am usually tardy because I have religious prayer to do.
I ask this because a special program for gifed youth (Sony Stars) gives importance to attendance and acedemics (Im #1 in acedemics in my school)</p>
<p>It sounds like you have a legitimate reason for tardiness, but I'm not sure that people in the Stanford thread are necessarily qualified to answer a question about this program...</p>
<p>I don't think the tardies are in any way registered on your transcript...</p>
<p>ok, thanks!</p>
<p>Haha I had over 40 latenesses every single year of high school recorded on my transcript, and I got in, so I don't think they care.</p>
<p>10 tardinesses in 2 years isn't that bad anyways. I had way more lol</p>
<p>For college courses, 50 percent of the class showing up is a good rate. Less if the class is in the morning, on Monday or on Friday. </p>
<p>Given that information, do you think any university other than a military academy will care that you were late to class?</p>
<p>no, but there is this reeeaaally good program in my school and it takes the top 12 sophomores out of 120 sophomores. I don't want to miss it. It seems that attendence is an important factor....which suks! But hey, at least I have legitimate reason.</p>
<p>LOL!! seriously??? x20Deepx??? You got 160 tardies in hs?? wow (unless you're joking or somehting =/ )</p>
<p>yeah, i got 42 tardies last year, somehow i didnt end up with any detentions.....</p>
