Aubrey Peeples, who plays Layla Grant on ABC’s Nashville has the distinction of being accepted to Harvard and deferring going twice to pursue her career. She says she would still like to go to Harvard at some point, although she wouldn’t want to study acting. She says, “If I were to go to Harvard or go to school, at some point, I don’t think Harvard had an undergraduate journalism program, but they have a very large ‘create your own major’ program and I’d like to do something kind of leaning towards that, ‘cause I’ve always loved editing and writing.”
Aubrey also loves the idea of just taking a variety of classes and learning a lot of random things, and ultimately pursuing a degree in something close to journalism because she says, “that’s another love of mine.”
New episodes of Nashville return to ABC this Wednesday, March 16th.

Nashville – Aubrey Peeples college major :58
“I would not want to go for acting, especially because that was never something I wanted to do, originally, like I toyed with the idea of going to school for musical theater or for acting or something, but I was already kind of having somewhat success and I didn’t want to go and be in a program for like four years and not get to actually do what I was already doing, and I was already enjoying what I was doing. So, if I were to go to Harvard or go to school, at some point, I don’t think Harvard had an undergraduate journalism program, but they have a very large create your own major program and I’d like to do something kind of leaning towards that, ‘cause I’ve always loved editing and writing. That’s what I would wanna go for and they have such like a wide variety of classes. It’s not like your typical college where you go take English, science, math and you can really learn so many different things. So I kind of just wanna go and learn about a bunch of random things that I’m interested in and then maybe, I would probably get a degree in something as close to journalism as possible because that’s another love of mine.”
