Thanks for the thoughtful reply. The missed days number is really the only thing that might be detrimental. But it’s not really that many days where it would be a huge red-flag for his application. He doesn’t have many “official” absences. He usually goes to the nurses office and they still count him as in school.

So it really hasn’t affected his application. He can basically tell them and hope that gives him an extra push at such wildly impossible schools to get into where tons of 1600/4.0 students get rejected, like being a woman engineering applicant. Or he can just let it go and be just like every other applicant.

Anyone else have thoughts?
