Margaret’s MBA Qualifications
Margaret has helped clients get into these schools:
Seasoned MBA admissions consultant / coach with Wharton, GSB, NYU Stern, Kellogg, and Cornell EMBA admits. As someone who applied to MBA from a non-traditional background in startups/tech (and career breaks in between roles!), I have a well-rounded perspective on what makes a great candidate, regardless of experience. Post-Wharton MBA, I spent 2.5 years as a McKinsey Associate, and am happy to discuss strategies and positioning for a consulting career as well. I have an international background (grew up between China and the US), with experience in multicultural / international clientele. My clients say an empathetic, optimistic consultant / coach that takes a holistic approach (exploration of self + practical strategies/tips) to admissions. My specific offerings include: MBA application strategy, resume polishing, essay ideation and editing, interview prep / mock interviews, and other services as needed. I look forward to hearing from you! :)

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.
