<p>Hey guys, I am new to College Confdential, although I have been lurking this site for some time, so I am quite familiar with it. I’m in 7th grade (as seen by my username) and I was wondering how prep schools would view absences for long periods of time (like a vacation). I saw that Exeter needed how many days you were out of school besides health, and I was wondering if this would negatively impact my application. Thank you! 3:-O >-) </p>
<p>Most schools, including prep schools, don’t look kindly upon vacations during the academic year. For student attending schools like Exeter, this would lead to disciplinary action.</p>
<p>How this will impact an applicant for admissions is anybody’s guess.</p>
<p>Thank you skieurope!</p>
