<p>I initially asked three teachers, one from 10th grade who knows me well and two others from 11th, to write me a recommendation for different schools. Since some schools (Stanford, Cornell, UPenn, Rice) take only 11th and 12th teacher recs, I told my 10th grade teacher to write the rest. </p>
<p>However, today I went onto my Common App and found out he sent them to ALL my schools, instead of the ones I specified to him previously. Since the four schools I listed above are extremely strict with recommendations, will this hurt my chances at admission to the four schools listed above, or will they just chose to ignore the letter? </p>
<p>Since I don't believe there is a way to retract the letter, should I also email the colleges to let them know of the mistake?</p>
<p>Any help/advice is appreciated :)</p>
