• ThreeEQ is preeminent in both college & career counseling and leadership & life coaching. As a deeply engaged applied researcher and preeminent practitioner of elite college and career counseling, ThreeEQ fully understands EXACTLY how Ivy League and highly competitive college admissions decisions are made. Our know-how, which includes Jason Ma’s own 20,000+ hours of experience and Team ThreeEQ’s overall experiences in the business, is recognized in high-level circles as absolutely top-notch and masterful in our client families’ favor. So, please DON’T be fooled by other educational and college consultancies telling you that only former admissions officers from top private schools qualify as expert counselors, or that their in-house, make-believe “admissions committee” will make magic for you. On leadership and life success coaching and mentoring, please read on.
  .
• ThreeEQ’s exceptionally effective mentoring methodology ALSO elevates students’ mindsets, strategies and execution, soft skills, competitiveness, and long-term benefits. To sophisticated families, this differentiation of ours outshines all other consultancies. ThreeEQ’s unique, powerful, personalized, 1-on-1 mentoring method integrates up-to-date, sophisticated, real-world wisdom, including where the Future of Work and Education is REALLY headed. Your child’s growth, contribution, identity, happiness, connection, and security for many years to come are vital. Do not be shortsighted. Our work is MORE PROFOUND than just helping kids get into college because college ISN’T their destination but is PART of their JOURNEY. Therefore, we help ALL of students hone their pragmatic “3EQ” and “4S” to gain a higher, more competitive and impactful, long-term success trajectory. 
  • 3EQ = Pragmatic emotional, social, and leadership intelligence
    .
  • 4S = Visionary story and character, (emotional) state of mind, (soft) skills and talent, and strategies and execution.

• As examples, ThreeEQ students include Jason’s own two happy, compassionate Gen Z daughters, who aspire to be impactful, tech C-suite leaders in the long term:
  • Sabrina was admitted to a few Ivy League schools (her first Ivy admit letter received at still age 16 because she skipped 4th grade), UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and others. She chose Georgetown and enjoyed her 4 years there. Although she had no computer science experience in high school, she boldly pivoted her major from business to CS. Since graduating Georgetown in 2018, Sabrina’s been a Google software engineer and an emerging leader in Silicon Valley.
    .
  • Lydia was accepted into Penn/Wharton Early Decision and politely declined two interview requests by Harvard reps because Wharton was indeed her #1 dream school. Today, she is a Wharton rising junior dual-concentrating in finance and business analytics and minoring in CS. Recognized as a top student and leader at Wharton, Lydia looks forward to working full-time as a Value Realization Intern at Slack in SF through the summer of 2020.

2. Our Private Client Families Are Mainly High-Net-Worth and Are Selected. Some Examples:
.

.

Our Private Client families have been selected, high-net-worth, and diverse in backgrounds and ethnicities (Caucasian, Asian American, Asian, European, and Latinx).

• Example 1: One parent is CEO of a US$40 billion market cap public tech company, and the other is retired and helping the family full-time. We’ve been mentoring their high-achieving, STEM-focused daughter, now a high school senior at a private school, since her sophomore year and will continue guiding her through the end of her college freshman year.
  .
• Example 2: One parent is former SVP of Sony Pictures, and the other is in social services. We started coaching their younger son at the beginning of his high school senior year when he was having a serious girlfriend issue, which Jason helped resolve and converted into a positive learning outcome for him. He was admitted to a number of top schools and chose Colgate, where he is a proud alum. Today, he works at Warner Bros. in the entertainment industry in Hollywood.
  .
• Example 3: One parent is the founder and managing partner of a leading law firm in the East Coast, and the other is a retired doctor. We coached their daughter while in high school and she now attends Cornell.
  .
• Example 4: One parent is EVP/C-suite executive of a US$50 billion+ market cap public tech company, and the other is an entrepreneur. We coached both their boys in high school—one from freshman through senior years, and the other before his senior year until graduation. They are, respectively, a USC graduate now working at a Big Four and a UC Berkeley student.
  .
• Example 5: The parents are successful entrepreneurs in Mainland China. We coached their son from his freshman through senior years in high school. He is a recent Georgetown graduate and newly minted investment banker.
  .
• Example 6: The parents are successful entrepreneurs in Hong Kong. We coached their son for 5 years from first year in a UK boarding school through his first year of university. He’s now finishing his final year at Imperial in the UK. He will be an impactful, compassionate engineering leader.
  .
• Example 7: One parent runs his own family office, and the other is a housewife. We coached both their boys in a private high school for a few years until their graduation. We transformed one from a D+ student into a B+ student; he now attends a top-tier public university. We helped the other get admitted to top universities, including Oxford in the UK, where he’s been an undergrad and is pursuing an engineering MEng.
  

3. High-Powered Community Roles, Contributions, and Connections

Jason Ma and Steve Schwarzman, Chairman & CEO, Blackstone Group, at the B20 in Beijing

• Jason Ma was a by-invitation-only delegate to the Forbes Global CEO Conference for 8 years before Forbes Media was acquired by an Asian firm.
  .
• Jason Ma is an appointed, leading member of the B20 in the G20, serving on the Future of Work and Education Taskforce. The B20 is the official voice of the private sector to the G20 heads of state and governments, representing the global business community across all G20 member states and all economic sectors. The G20 represents over 80% of nearly US$90 trillion in global nominal GDP (before the COVID-19 crisis) and 2/3 of world population of 7.8 billion people. Through the G20 and B20 Presidencies in Australia, Turkey, China, Germany, Argentina, and currently Saudi Arabia, Jason is one of only a few hundred business leaders worldwide handpicked to be B20 members.
  .
• Although he knows many college admissions deans and top administrators at elite universities (and large donors connected with them), Jason Ma has led guiding 99%+ of his students 1-on-1 to get admitted based on real merit, rarely from big “hooks” such as recruited Division 1 athletes, high-powered connections (e.g., trustees) to universities, or parents who’ve donated many millions of dollars for a few years. These students’ achievements reflect the TRULY powerful and high-quality mentorship skill sets of Jason and Team ThreeEQ in helping students win, succeed, and grow.
