[quote=Anonymous][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 apply to HYP overall, not to a science major. You don't apply to a premed program either. It sounds like neither you nor your friend really understand the admissions process (or you are a troll), but luckily your children did.[/quote]

I am not a troll at all. My DD applied science major but not interested in  pre-med . Her daughter applied math major but her goal is a MD. I do agree my DD got in them luckily.
I saw so many qualified kids were rejected. I and my other friend can't tell  our DD were accepted as of right.  I do think that was my dd's luck.
As I wrote above, my dd was one year older than her daughter.  When my dd did something, she always asked me and I told her everything I knew. --how my dd did, where my dd did,  etc.
She ( my friend) may think if she followed me , she would get the same result. (This is my guessing). My dd was the first kid who got in the US colleges through US high schools in my friends  group.
Their eldest kids are at most  HS seniors.
