[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet she felt like you had inside knowledge of how to get her kid into the same type of school since your kid got in and is a freshman there now (if I read that correctly).  Even though you had nothing to do with the decision process, she feels like you let them down.

It's crazy but that's what I'm understanding from this.      [/quote]

Well, I opened everything, I told her everything what I knew. One think I concerned is  Her DD  was very strong at science and math, wanted to apply pre med program. Her DD applied science major.  She (my friend) told me her dd would apply science major. I said " She is very strong at science ,I think it is a good idea". 
Shouldn't  I  mention this ? I am so frustrated.  Should I wait until her feeling comes down?[/quote]

You're not a guidance counselor! Of course you can say this and normal people will take it for exactly what it's worth: a friend agreeing with her friend about something.

She's mad at herself for somehow not better gaming the system. She probably thought there were steps that would guarantee a HYPS entry, and she's discovering that there's no such set of steps; some kids get in, and many, many very qualified kids do not.[/quote]
