Some colleges require a graded paper. How are graded papers reviewed by the university? What kind of communication is done between the teacher who graded the paper and the admissions office? Thanks!

Thanks Mark. As a deferred admit, how can I best gauge my chances of getting into to the deferred college?

As a former Admissions Director, I can say the request for the submission of a graded paper has less to do with the grade itself and more to do with the validation of an authentic work by the student. It would confirm a genuine sample of written work. As a result, the need to discuss the grading between admissions and the teacher is irrelevant and unnecessary.
