Tardies and Absenses

<p>I realize that many colleges consider the transcript as a large factor in college admissions. However, my school's transcript includes the number of absenses and tardies I have accumulated over the years. Do colleges take these numbers into account as well as a statement to my character? If so, how important are they?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Oh god. My school messed up my tardy/absence thing so bad that I got truant twice. They never fixed the error.</p>
