"Be that as ..."

I just want to make sure if the following sentence is even correct, "As of now, I’ve obtained more than classical music performing experiences, I would really appreciate the opportunity to further extend my studies based on my already established skills and knowledge base as well as to absorb newer elements that will help widen my overall musical perspective and knowledge.

Be that as my goal , the school of music at this university will definitely help enhance the chance of my success."

I think that the bold-fonted phrase there should be changed into
"As long as this goal remains intact "


Am I correct though?

Now that's funny! You did it again! On purpose? As a joke?

I thought you had understood Clive's reply, and were purposely making a joke. That's all.

I guess I misunderstood, and you didn't intend to be funny after all.

Of course you should ask if you want clarification. Don't let my misunderstanding stop you, for heaven's sake!
