I am a semi-professional musician and I added a few great music related things on my CV, which I hoped would help considering my interest in phil. of music, but who knows.
I feel 90% sure I will not get in anywhere (if I do I probably won't get funding), but I knew if I didn't try my best I'd regret it forever.
I wish everyone good luck!
