Yes, I have a B.Mus. from Berklee College of Music.
As far as auditions go - be yourself & be prepared. For your prepared pieces, choose things that appeal to you (as much as you can, especially if they give you a repertoire list to choose from). And be ready for whatever they may through at you. If you don't already, spend 15-30 minutes every day sight reading.
Don't psych yourself out. You already have some great experience. That will go a long way in getting you a spot in the program.
Remember to go armed with questions for them! You have the opportunity to interview a faculty member - so ask all the questions you can that pertain to what you want to do. Have them suggest courses of action and follow up on them. While the audition is aimed at gauging your ability on the instrument, it is also a chance for them to gauge your drive & commitment. They want to accept students who will [1] complete the program and [2] go on to be successful. Show them you have what it takes on the follow through.
