My son missed 5 weeks of school as a sophomore. He was at a boarding school, and didn’t return as a junior. His second semester sophomore GPA was below 3.0. The GC explained in the rec, and my son wrote about it in the extra space. He’s graduating today, and off to his first choice college in the fall!
