<p>I'm a senior in high school, and was wondering if colleges can rescind me on the basis of my absenses over the past years. I have a lot, not because I was actually absent(for a few days I really was because of being sick and having the stomach flu), but a lot of them are because the teachers at my school get irritated that the students are late, so a lot of times they just mark you absent on the sheet, then when you come in, they just don't bother changing it. It's not due to senioritis either. I checked my transcript and last year I have almost 20 absences marked in one class!</p>
<p>So for years you didn't bother correcting your record? Seems strange you would let it slide</p>
<p>No, for other years it was only like 4 or 5 which didn't seem like a big deal to me, but then I checked for last year (which isn't added to our transcript until it's completed so technically this year) and found the twenty absences. I <em>know</em> I should have checked earlier in the year, but over all the other college admission factors, I wasn't thinking about the absences on my transcript as a big thing.</p>
