<p>hello,
1 am 19 years old and i am planning on becoming an opera singer.
I have been taking voice lessons since i was 7, and i just graduated highschool this year. I used to go to Mannes pre-college of music in Manhattan for 2 years.I applied to michigan and rutgers this year.
Because i didn't want to go to just a 'music school' or conservatories.
I have really bad grades, and both of the school told me that my gpa and sat score was way too low for them to accept me. They liked my singing and asked me to take classes during the summer and then apply again when my grades are better. So basically, i didn't get into any colleges. I can say that i am good singer.But i have horrible grades, my gpa is around 2.0 and i got V380 M420.Where can i apply to get in? What schools are willing to see my ability but not my grades? my dreams so big to become a musician but my grades are so bad its just terrible..</p>
<p>please help!</p>
