An admissions officer at an information session indicated what is considered a great recommendation. He said that most teacher recommendations do not turn heads in the admisisons office. Most say generally the same attributes about the applicants. He said that the type of recommendation the admission officers notice of are ones in which it is clear that the teacher put a great deal of thought into writing the recommendation.
