<p>Do colleges ever contact your teachers, coaches, employers, etc. to verify what they wrote? More specifically, for the dartmouth peer rec, what if the peer intentionally writes bad things? Will they check for accuracy?</p>
<p>Theres always the possibility (probably if they see something strange).</p>
<p>I'd ask a peer that you trust to write the letter. If you think your peer would write bad stuff about you, why are you asking him/her to do your rec?</p>
