<p>is there a requirement for cornell stating that teacher rec letters must come from teachers from 11th and 12th grade? I am getting my letters from 9th and 10th grade teachers...is that bad? (fyi: I have known the 9th grade teacher throughout high school because he coached the academic decathlon team which i was in.)</p>
<p>Don't know about now but when I applied 2 years ago there wasn't. I asked my 10th grade chem teacher to write mine and it was fine</p>
<p>I went to an info session for the CAS and the speaker said they prefer 11th/12th grade. If you pick another grade they said they will ask "Why not 11/12?"</p>
<p>I'm using my AP Chemistry teacher anyways</p>
<p>what do you mean they will ask "why not 11/12?" how would they ask me?</p>
