Despite all the publicity around the admissions scandal, Huffman's 19-year-old daughter, Sophia Macy, whom she shares with her husband William, got accepted into the Carnegie Mellon University.

At the beginning of the year, Sophia Macy got cast in the second season of the CBS show "The Twilight Zone," but the news brought out polarized reactions for netizens.
