We will focus our evaluation on your choice of coursework and your performance in 10th, 11th and 12th grades, mainly in the core academic subjects of Math, English, Social Studies, Science, and Foreign Language.

<p>…so, this says they will focus on 10th and beyond, but it does NOT say they will completely ignore 9th.</p>
