I am curious to know your thoughts on the "what would you change about this candidate" component of the recommendation? Clearly, its cliche to say workaholic, so what is really an "acceptable" flaw that ADCOMs look at and say --- this person is still a leader and someone we want in our class?

The adcoms know that all human beings have flaws. The "acceptable" component could be almost anything (except lacking integrity) as long as the recommender can also say that you are mature enough to be aware of the weakness and are attempting mitigate it -- with an example of that mitigation process.
Best,

thanks this is really helpful. What about the component of the recommendation that asks the recommender to comment on the applicants "ethical" behavior.
Are they looking for examples here, of when integrity / ethics were tested and how the applicant responded?
What if there were no real "on-the-job" experiences that tested the ethical behavior of the employee/applicant? Does the recommender comment based on their own personal assessment of the applicant's ethical values? Saying "I think she is very ethical and trustworthy. She treats everyone fairly." doesn't seem to do much to SHOW the ADCOMs you are ethical.
