The idea of Tilden was born in Berkeley, California. While studying, our founders came across numerous international applicants facing the same challenges they did while applying such as choosing the right program or stream, to study abroad or in the home country, gaining unbiased, authentic information about studying abroad, choosing the right universities and countries, erroneously placing too much emphasis on acing the test (GMAT, GRE, SAT, LSAT etc.), lacking awareness that applications need to be customized to each school and knowledge of how to do so, financing one’s education, etc. There’s a lot of unfiltered information on the internet about studying abroad, and much of it comes from people who themselves haven’t walked that path. The other set comes from ‘foreigners’ who may advocate admissions strategies without understanding the unique cultural background of applicants.
Working professionals often fend for themselves and some times make career limiting decisions. Given our experience of working in and recruiting early, mid and senior management, we decided to provide practical, action-based mentoring insights and coaching for professionals to successful position themselves for accelerated career growth
Finally, we realized that most current offerings did not recognize the mental/pyschological health aspect of our lives. We created Tilden to also address these challenges and provide the best, authentic solutions for our clients.
“Tilden consultants left no stone unturned in ensuring that my application to each school was my best pitch to them. Be it essays, interviews, profile building or LoRs, they ensured and followed up to help me get the best out of myself. Every school had a different strategy specially tailored to their values and past successful data. Their guidance helped me maximise my chances of success”.
“Tilden ensured that all parts of my personality are reflected in the application. I was able to customize my application to each school because of his analysis of what different schools value. I was particularly impressed with their help during the interview process as they provided a holistic feedback, both on content and delivery. They even took multiple mock interviews for a school to ensure I was well prepared. It was a pleasure to go through the MBA application process with them”
“Tilden guided me with their valuable inputs in my UG applications. I received admits from my dream school, Trinity College Dublin and other high ranked Law Universities like Queen Mary, London and University of Sydney. I highly recommend Tilden as they were patient, resourceful and approachable.
“I worked with Tilden on my applications to top Canada B schools and got into 3 of the top 4 schools. You have to wear your heart on your sleeves during applications because you must tell them impactful stories about your life. In this process, you need a consultant who understands you and helps you find such stories, and not just know you superficially, which most consultants do. Tilden’s propensity to establish a relationship with their clients is their most remarkable aspect. They are very different from other consultants I talked to because they understood me very well, and forced me to think until they were satisfied that the story is impactful. They also understands every inch of the admissions process and has a great team to support you through your journey. Lastly and most importantly, they motivated me when I felt low and frustrated with the arduous process. At that time I couldn’t have asked for more. You cannot go wrong with them.”
“Having a highly technical background and an unconventional work experience, I wasn’t clear how to approach the MBA Applications. Tilden’s rigorous process, especially their MAP gave me absolute clarity. The team pushed me really hard, leveraged my unique strengths and were always approachable and responsive. The HEC application is especially long and exhausting and they motivated me to stay focused. I highly recommend them!”
