Will the admission committee try to get in touch with the referees who wrote the recommendation letters? [Graduate admission] I am currently in an institution wherein most of the academic body in my department (Electrical Engineering) have a rather poor (and that's putting mildly) mastery of English.
My concern is if I miraculously manage to get a letter of recommendation from one of them, will the admission committee try to get in touch with him/her for further inquiries? Because I don't think (It is certain) they will manage a detailed and meaningful discussion (which is what I think the committee wants) without some external help, which I highly doubt they'll even bother to seek.
So, to reiterate the question, does the committee generally try to reach the referees? What would you advice someone in a position like mine to do?
Thanks for reading.
I have written many letters of reference.
I have also been contacted, over the phone, by HR or admissions who wish to discuss the candidates, just to expand on experience or whatever.
So, if they wish to contact the people who you put as referees, then they will do so.
