I mean obviously it will write good, shifting it towards people with higher education etc. But not sure where the male part comes from.

Also, bad choice of lines for 3.5 and 4. Why not dotted and dashed or something?

"But even then, the suggestions that these models will make may not be well aligned with the values, the sort of linguistic style, that would be an authentic expression of those students.

Uh... an essay should be about arguments etc., not linguistic style?

college admission essays aren't really about delivering an argument, they're moreso personal essays, where you're trying to paint a picture of who you are. also, the best arguments tend to be written with a consistent and thoughtful style. your argument is not going to be as compelling as it could be if it's not presented well
