According to Ms Chua's Facebook page, Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, 17, is still deciding between Harvard and Yale, having been accepted to both.
Ms Chua told Boston Herald in an e-mail: "But I'm afraid I can't take any credit. I don't think my parenting had anything to do with it - I think Sophia did it 100 per cent herself."
With both her parents being professors at Yale, it will be interesting to see which university the daughter chooses.
Harvard accepted a record low of 6.2 per cent of applicants this year - selected from a pool of 35,000 students.
The Washington Post reported that it had already vindicated Ms Chua's parenting techniques (no sleepovers, no instruments except the violin, no grades less than an A).
After all, aren't they the reason behind her daughter's academic success?
But the question is, did the daughter really need her pushy mother to do well in college admissions?
Sophia demonstrated that she has more than a few talents of her own.
A piano prodigy, she debuted at Carnegie Hall when she was just 14, according to Time magazine.
And in a letter defending her mother published in the New York Post, she proved she has writing chops, too.
"Having you as a mother was no tea party," she wrote.
"There were some play dates I wish I'd gone to and some piano camps I wish I'd skipped. But now that I'm 18 and about to leave the tiger den, I'm glad you and daddy raised me the way you did."
Her mum graduated from Harvard College in 1984 and Harvard Law School in 1987, and her father, Jed Rubenfeld, graduated from Harvard Law School in 1986.
In January, Ms Chua released the book Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mother. Her parenting practices appeared in the Wall Street Journal under the headline "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior".
Ms Chua, a professor at Yale Law, extolled the virtues of verbal abuse, mind control and intimidation.
She wrote about arguing with her younger daughter, Louisa, to keep practising a piece on the piano.
"I hauled Lulu's dollhouse to the car and told her I'd donate it to the Salvation Army piece by piece if she didn't have 'The Little White Donkey' perfect by the next day.
Threats
"I threatened her with no lunch, no dinner, no Christmas or Hanukkah presents, no birthday parties for two, three, four years. I told her to stop being lazy, cowardly, self- indulgent and pathetic."
Reaction to the book was brutal.
In nearly 10,000 comments, Journal readers called her everything from obnoxious to dangerous to a bully.
The book is currently 16th on the New York Times hardcover non-fiction best-seller list. It has been up and down the charts for 11 weeks, Boston Herald reported.
And now with Sophia being accepted in two Ivy League schools, more mothers will be eager to read the book.
