Can anyone please tell me what the phone call to references is like? How many and what kind of questions they might ask? And also if they call from some kind of standardized number so I can inform them of the number so they don't think it's spam.

Anecdotally they only really call references if you checked yes to the personal questions. They never called mine and that seems to be more common then not. You could always have your references call them instead at the 1-800-731-4000 number. Other then that I can't really help.
