The last part is a written evaluation. Most students don’t actually see these ratings, so it’s hard to evaluate what your teacher wrote. However, many students comment on their relationships with their teachers as a proxy for how good the recommendations were. And how accurate are students at gauging the impact of their recs? Let’s find out:

Outcome

Polarity

Subj.

Students

Admitted

0.44

0.55

1315

Deferred/

Waitlisted

0.43

0.55

662

Rejected

0.48

0.58

530

These numbers are all about the same, which parallels the essay story. At a high level, no clear difference in polarity or subjectivity; everyone thought they had good teacher recommendations. It is interesting that students had much more positive thoughts on teacher recs than on their own essays, probably because they are judging the relationship and not the actual words written.
