TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hi, can someone help with this? Mailed grad rec but no response. Also if someone here can help: for the DTC apps, do we need to add high school grades as well? I only see an option for undergrad studies, so anyone who's done with this application please help!

They are notoriously bad at replying.

But yes you will need to provide school grades. Under Academic Details, there should be three sections. Secondary (this is high school), Graduate (undergraduate),and Postgraduate.

In academic details, I only see a school option and it lists my university. No school option.

Hmmm that is strange. If that's the case just put your university details, then send another email explaining the situation, attach a screenshot of the page and give your school results in your email then they can't fault you for it.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Could someone else also who has completed the TC app for Baker lmk if they had a school option or just Uni? Idw end up missing something on my end.

Did they say if they were sending out more invites or is it just the one batch?

I honestly am not sure but from what it seemed they hadn't reviewed all of the apps yet
