The Ma family, playfully called the “MAfia,” includes two happy and compassionate Gen Z young adults. Sabrina is a rising senior software engineer at Google. Lydia graduated summa cum laude from Penn/Wharton and started working at Salesforce Slack in 2022. Both have aspirations to become impactful tech leaders.

 

 

As a high school student, do you envision gaining admission to a top college, launching a successful career, and living a fulfilling life? Regardless of your current educational environment—be it private or public—or if you’re already working with a college consultant, ThreeEQ stands ready to provide the edge you need. Our Client families regard us as their secret weapon, propelling their students towards greater achievements and success beyond their previous imagination, all the while maintaining a focus on well-being.

The elite college admissions process is more competitive than ever today, with Ivy League and top-tier institutions reporting record-low admit rates. This intense competition can breed high levels of stress and anxiety among students. With ThreeEQ’s guidance, these challenges become opportunities for growth and success.

At ThreeEQ, we view college as a significant milestone, not the end goal, in a larger journey. Our aim is to cultivate life-cycle success and impact, meaningful relationships, greater joy, and peace of mind by going beyond traditional college preparation and applications. We help you stand out in your applications and thrive in college and beyond.

The hype and rush of college admissions (which we call “college admissions myopia”) can overshadow the critical development of emotional, social, and leadership intelligence (“3EQ”) and a range of soft skills during high school. Neglecting these areas can lead to significant issues in college such as imposter syndrome, excessive stress, heightened anxiety, and, in severe cases, depression. For a deeper understanding, consider reading “Penn ranked highest out of the Ivy League for mental health—with a D+” and “The myth of the Ivy League“.

ThreeEQ offers a more holistic and powerful approach than traditional independent college counseling and consulting. We not only guide you through the complex elite college planning and application process for great outcomes in college admissions, but also mentor you in nurturing a strong growth and contribution mindset, building positive habits, honing crucial soft skills, and formulating and executing incisive strategies for success in every area of life.

Our Chief Mentor, Jason Ma, with decades of distinguished global business, education, and mentorship leadership and over 20,000 hours of successful coaching, mentoring, writing, speaking, and applied research, spearheads ThreeEQ. Mr. Ma and Team ThreeEQ are committed to providing the most comprehensive, personalized, and effective guidance available. Even high-achieving students from top private high schools and their discerning parents have chosen ThreeEQ for private 1-on-1 mentorship because they recognize Mr. Ma as the best in the industry.
