@contrex,
Thank you~

Do you think if we use a noun, SCHEDULE, here, we need FOR, tailed by TOMORROW?

Why would you use 'schedule' as a noun in that sentence?

@contrex,
In dictionaries we find something like

eg I have a hectic schedule for the next few days.

so I thought so. um...do you think 'a meeting schedule' is wrong English?

@WBYeats,
A schedule (noun) is a plan or list of events. Example:

Schedule for June 9 2014:

09:00 Team meeting
09:30 Finance committee meeting
10:00 Interview WBYeats
11:00 Telephone conference with Beijing office
12:00 Lunch
13:00 Visit new factory
(etc)

To schedule (verb) is to arrange or plan an event to take place at a particular time. My interview with WBYeats is scheduled for 10:00 in June 9 2014. I cannot see him at 09:30 because I have a meeting scheduled for that time.

um...do you think ''a meeting schedule'' at least does not sound logical - a list of meeting events?

It is not illogical, but it would be a mistake to say "She, who also has a private meeting schedule with him tomorrow, said..." when you meant she had a private meeting with him arranged (scheduled) for tomorrow.
