Wake Forest University

My experience in higher education is from working as an Assistant Dean of Admissions at Wake Forest University. I reviewed thousands of applications, served as a voting member on application review committees, and interviewed hundreds of applicants. I aided in the implementation of several systems to create an equitable review process to give all applicants a fair chance. While working in Undergraduate Admissions, I made it my mission to offer the best support to families and counselors while navigating the college application process. I educated families on the uniqueness of a liberal arts education and how the holistic nature of it can be beneficial. As a first-generation college graduate and woman of color, I provided extra support to students of underserved backgrounds to help them understand the college application process and help them on their journey. I now even mentor some of those enrolled students to this day! Higher education is something that I'm truly passionate about. I look forward to working with all families from all walks of life!

I hold a Bachelor’s degree from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Business Administration from The University of Michigan – Go Heels & Go Blue!! After graduating from UNC, I started my career as a college advisor where I helped guide students through the college application process, both in-person and virtually. As a first-generation college student, I am passionate about ensuring that students feel supported, uplifted, and encouraged through the college application process. I enjoy helping students craft their story to allow their strengths, their passions, and their authentic selves to shine in college applications. During my time as an advisor, I have had the honor of successfully advising students who have been accepted into top colleges and Ivy League schools across the US. Throughout my professional career I have gained experience as a College Advisor, an MBA student, a digital marketer, and a product manager. Understanding the importance of exploring your passions and pursuing your interests, I have had the opportunity to pivot and explore different opportunities – and I want to encourage you to also explore different pathways as you begin your college journey! The college application process doesn’t have to be stressful – I look forward to working with you to find colleges that are the best fit, craft your essays, and submit strong applications that you are proud of… and ensuring that we have fun along the way!

I am Megan Tang and have 10+ years of experience in advising and supporting students through the college admissions process, college access and success, ensuring students' achievement through their first year in college, and a number of other aspects that ensure your collegiate experience is transformative for you. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Additionally, I have a Master of Public Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I started my journey in the college access space working in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Wake Forest University where I conducted thousands of interviews, reviewed prospective student applications, and was a part of the team in deciding which students were admitted into Wake Forest. Currently, and for the past 8 years, I have worked with a college access organization in North Carolina, serving over 2,000 juniors and seniors each year. Through my college access work and advising, students in the program have enrolled in over 135 different colleges and universities across the country at schools such as Duke University, Harvard University, Stanford University, Tufts University, UNC Chapel Hill, and many more. My time in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Wake Forest and my current role with college access provided, and continues to provide me, with a full understanding of the best practices to enhance your essays and other supporting materials for college admissions. Additionally, I have significant experience working with students to develop a strong target list of colleges and universities for their specific portfolio. I look forward to learning more about you, working with you to help you realize your college dreams, and finding the school that will suit you best!
