ThreeEQ’s expertise is unparalleled in the industry. We measure our success by the satisfaction and remarkable outcomes of our Client families. We warmly invite you and your parents to explore and be inspired by the many Testimonials and Success Stories of our Students’ Successes.

We at ThreeEQ are inspired by our nearly 100% success rate with coachable, committed, and decisive Private Client families comprised of high-achieving students. The notable achievements of our students include:

• Gaining admission to every Ivy League school, including Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn/Wharton, Princeton, and Yale.
• Securing places in other top-tier research universities such as Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Duke, UChicago, UC Berkeley/Engineering, UCLA, NYU, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, and more.
• Achieving acceptance into premier liberal arts colleges like Williams, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, Pomona, among others.
• Cultivating fulfilling high school and college experiences while effectively managing stress and anxiety.
• Developing critical soft and leadership skills and cultivating mindsets that promote success with well-being in college and career paths.
• Securing prestigious college internships and landing lucrative post-college jobs.
• Strategically charting high-end career paths.

The Ma family (playfully called the “MAfia”) includes two happy, compassionate Gen Z young adults. Sabrina shines as a top-performing senior software engineer and young leader at Google. Lydia, a Penn Wharton summa cum laude alumna of 2022, has distinguished herself as both a top performer and an inspiring “culture add” at Salesforce Slack. Both siblings are on a trajectory to become influential leaders in the tech industry.

 

 

Discerning, affluent families with high aspirations trust ThreeEQ’s guidance for great outcomes in college admissions and lifelong success. Our trusted, third-party, expert guidance propels students from even top private schools to achieve new heights of success, ensuring well-being remains at the forefront.

In an era where Ivy League and top-tier college admissions are fiercely competitive, ThreeEQ transforms stress into strategic advantage. College is just one milestone in a continuum of impact and fulfillment we envision for our students. Our support extends beyond traditional prep, ensuring you not only stand out in your applications but also thrive in future endeavors.

The hype of elite college admissions often neglects vital skills like practical emotional, social, and leadership intelligence—key to navigating challenges like imposter syndrome and anxiety. (For more insights, read “Penn ranked highest out of the Ivy League for mental health—with a D+” and “The myth of the Ivy League“.) ThreeEQ’s holistic approach fosters a robust growth mindset, strategic thinking, and essential soft skills for enduring, greater success and personal growth.

Under the stewardship of award-winning Chief Mentor Jason Ma, ThreeEQ’s 1-on-1 mentorship is unrivaled in effectiveness, depth, and personalization. With Mr. Ma and Team ThreeEQ’s distinguished expertise and track record, ThreeEQ is considered an invaluable secret weapon by those who seek a decisive competitive edge throughout high school, college, and the years that follow.
