After applying to 10 different universities, Tiara Abraham has a big decision to make. She recently found out that she was accepted into 8 schools, including the University of Southern California (USC). Even more amazing, 4 of the 8 universities offered Abraham a merit scholarship because of her singing ability.

Abraham is a musical prodigy with a high IQ. She graduated high school at the age of 13 and has been taking classes at a local community college since then. Abraham plans to study vocal performance in university and dreams of becoming an opera singer. She has performed at famous venues around the world such as Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Abraham’s mother said she was thrilled that her daughter was accepted into many universities. Initially, she didn’t want her daughter to study music, but she changed her mind after seeing her passion for it. Abraham’s mother explained that the vocal programs at these universities are very competitive. She said that USC, for example, only accepts about 3-4 vocal students each year, and Abraham is the youngest student ever accepted by them.
