PITTSBURGH — It’s only been a few months since Felicity Huffman admitted to cheating to get her daughter into college, but now that same daughter has announced that she will be attending college at a Pittsburgh university.
Huffman served 11 days in prison last fall and was ordered to complete 250 hours of community service for paying $15,000 to a college admissions consultant to boost her daughter’s SAT scores.
