Anyone still on “hold” for direct TC? Debating whether to contact them


Personally I think there is no harm in calling them! You don't even need to say your name and you can call from a withheld number


"Hi, I was hoping if I could speak to grad rec... I applied for a TC and I was wondering when I may hear back..."

I mean there is a risk they will ask your name, but honestly, I don't think to call them will hinder your application!
