Opera Singer Applying To Hyps

<p>Ok Guys & Gals,
So i would consider myself a very unique candidate for the universities I am applying to. From fifth to tenth grade i sang at the Metropolitan Opera as an opera singer/vocalist. I performed in over twenty five different operas (1000+ Performances). This was a tremendously tolling experience, and affected my ninth and tenth grade g.p.a detrimentally (though hopefully not too badly). Anyway, i provided my universities directly below, and my stats below these. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please be candid with your advice.</p>
