Seems like most MSPE comments are just generally/vaguely positive. Are there any comments that truly stand out in the eyes of interviewers?

I was able to rotate with a few attendings that gave very positive/specific comments (eg. knowledge/skills/presentations at the level of an intern/PGY-2, knowledge base far above peers, one of the top students I've ever worked with, etc.) but they were on rotations outside of my preferred specialty so I can realistically only get a letter from one of them at most.

In general, do PD's read these comments/if they're pulled into the Dean's letter do they raise eyebrows? Or are they only valuable in letters. And are there any other "coded language" things that can signal positively or negatively to PDs (ie. if the eval talks a lot about being on time, etc. maybe a poor signal)
