Margaret’s College Qualifications
Margaret has helped clients get into these schools:
With clients admitted to top schools in the US (Brown, Yale, Duke, NYU, etc.) and having attended Princeton and Wharton MBA myself, I am an experienced and empathetic admissions consultant / coach. I get to know my clients first as people, and help draw out their strengths and passions. These qualities make the foundation for an excellent, well-rounded profile with a compelling narrative as to why each school would be an excellent place to flourish, learn, and take your skills and dreams to the next level. I love writing and editing, and can support you in crafting essays. I'm also resourceful and have a wonderful network of reputable school alum, who can help provide context / perspective on schools and majors I may not personally be familiar with. I have experience working across timezones internationally if needed and can speak English and Chinese.

About Margaret
Hey there! I'm Maggie Hua - an aspiring professional coach with extensive admissions consulting experience at the undergrad and MBA levels. I'm a Lawrenceville School '11, Princeton '15 and Wharton MBA '21 alum. I recently spent 2.5 years as an Associate at McKinsey, and left to pursue professional coaching and other startup ideas. I love supporting people to achieve their dreams, whether through school or career, and I'm always excited to get to know YOU as a person first and foremost. Your personality, skills and story are your greatest strength - my role is to help you tease out your best qualities, help you navigate processes, and give you the confidence to go forth and conquer! Growing up between China and the US, I have empathy for lived international / multicultural experiences, and feel those unique perspectives always have a place in any application or experience in school and work.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe everyone should have a personal cheerleader who is focused on you. Coaches should help unlock your potential, and feel empowered and excited to pursue what you want! I've benefited very much from the amazing support network around me (colleagues, friends, family, therapist, professional mentors, coaching training cohorts), and I'd be honored to be a part of yours.
