Sophia Macy, the eldest daughter of Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, has been accepted into Carnegie Mellon University’s theatre program.
The 19-year-old actor shared the news by updating her Instagram bio with, “CMU Drama ‘24 ?♥️.”
Sophia’s younger sister, Georgia, will be heading to Vassar College in the fall, People confirmed.
According to the outlet, Huffman “is so proud and grateful that Sophia has kept her chin up over the last year.”
Huffman was the first parent to be sentenced in the college admissions scandal after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
Last September, a federal judge in Boston sentenced Huffman to 14 days in prison, a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and a year’s probation after she pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy for paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter’s SAT answers.
In a letter last fall seeking leniency from the court, Huffman said she engaged in the scheme after her daughter’s dreams of going to college and pursuing an acting career were jeopardized by her low math score.
Authorities said Macy got a bump of 400 points from her earlier score on the PSAT, a practice version of the SAT.
Huffman was released from prison on Oct. 25 after serving 11 days of her initial 14-day sentence.
