General Question- Does the individual who administers an applicant's PFE also write a personal reccomendation, or do they just report the results ?

I don't think it is required for them to write a personal recommendation.
 
While it is not required that the same individual write the recommendation, it is possible. A coach, phys ed teacher or military member may administer the test. A recommendation also is required from a coach, phys ed teacher or military member. This could be the same person, especially if the applicant is from a small community.

Are you sure about this? We know that 1 counselor, 1math, 1 English, and 1 PFE administrator (who can be a coach, PE teacher, military personnel, or AIM score) are all required. Our understanding was that the two additional are optional and could be anyone. Where can we find information saying that it's also a REQUIREMENT to get a rec from a coach, PE teacher, or a military member? I'm really hoping it's not true.

Can someone suggest a link showing this information? It's new information for us, and we thought we were done with recs.
 
Blueman is correct on the number of required recommendations, but the original question was could the PFE administrator only report the results, or can they also write a recommendation. Perhaps I spoke too soon, since I haven't administered a PFE I don't know if the recommendation form is different for the PFE administrator to allow or require an additional recommendation. I'm going to ask Admissions to clarify.
 
And the answer from Admissions is: the PFE administrator does not have the ability to add a recommendation as part of the PFE, although there is a small area for comments. If the applicant would like a full recommendation as well from the PFE administrator, the applicant may use one of the additional optional recommendation slots. Note that they will have to use a different email address for the same person, as the system will not allow the same email address to be used twice.
