Tiger Mother Amy Chua's Daughter Gets Into Harvard & Yale

Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld Gets Accepted to Harvard & Yale

Tiger Mother haters just got trolled... hard. Amy Chua's daughter, Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, got accepted into Harvard and Yale. The 17-year-old Sophia hasn't decided which university she'll attend.

Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, and the attending WSJ piee, "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior," galvanized parents across America, with some praising her strict parenting style and others accusing her of borderline child abuse.

The Boston Herald characterizes Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother as "[extolling] the virtues of verbal abuse, mind control and intimidation". Sophia Chau-Rubenfeld had earlier defended her mother in an op-ed piece of her own, titled "Why I Love My Strict Chinese Mom".

Harvard accepted 6.2% of applicants this year, a record low. Were Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld's straight A's what got her in? How about her Carnegie Hall debut at age 14? What about the fact that both of her parents are Harvard grads? Probably come combination of the above.

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for three months, and it's about to climb higher, regardless of public criticism.

Amy Chua is a law professor at Yale, as is her husband, Jed Rubenfeld. They have two daughters, Sophia and Louisa.
