Hometown: Greenwich, CT
UG School: Colby College
Major: Environmental Studies

Why Wake: I chose to pursue the MSA program at Wake Forest because it allowed me to enroll over the summer and take prerequisite courses that I hadn’t yet completed due to the fact that I didn’t major in accounting in undergrad.

Hometown: Wyckoff, NJ
UG School: University of North Carolina at Asheville
Major: Accountancy

Why Wake: My professors at UNC Asheville recommended looking into the MSA program. The impressive CPA pass rate caught my attention, but what really ignited the spark was how invested the professors and the MSA team are in the students. I did not apply to any other graduate programs, because I knew Wake Forest was where I was meant to be.

Luke MiguezLuke Miguez

migula19@wfu.edu
Hometown: Miami, FL
UG School: Wake Forest University
Major: Economics

Why Wake: I always wanted to explore a career in accountancy but was not accepted into the Business School during undergrad. After speaking with upperclassman and Integrative Student Services, I found out about the MSA opportunity and spent a year and a half doing anything to help ensure my acceptance.

rossca22@wfu.edu
Hometown: New Canaan, CT
UG School: Lafayette College

Why Wake: After completing an internship at a local tax firm, I decided to pursue a master of accountancy with a focus in tax. Wake Forest offered the best support for non-accounting majors and made me feel confident about moving toward a new career path.

Hometown: Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
UG School: Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University
Major: Accountancy

Why Wake: Wake Forest’s MSA program has one of the highest CPA pass rates, good career outcomes, and a great alumni network. I also chose this program because I had a good experience during the admissions process.

Joanna WuJoanna Wu

wuh19@wfu.edu
Hometown: Beijing, China
UG School: Wake Forest University
Major: Mathematical Statistics

Why Wake: I chose to pursue MSA at the Wake Forest School of Business because of the Accounting program faculty. During my undergraduate degree, I had the pleasure of taking a tax class with Professor Simpson, which piqued my interest in Taxation and drove me to do an internship in taxation that I really enjoyed. Upon finishing my undergraduate degree at Wake, I decided to continue my study of taxation with the MSA program, and have hence benefited a lot from the structure of the program and the faculty’s enlightenment both academically and professionally.

Payton YeoPayton Yeo

yeoph19@wfu.edu
Hometown: Napa, CA
UG School: Wake Forest University
Major: Accountancy

Why Wake: MSA was a natural transition from being an undergrad accounting major at Wake Forest. I enjoyed my undergraduate experience here and liked the professors and faculty in the business school I had previously met. With having such a high CPA pass rate, it felt like the right next step in my education.
