I looked at the audition requirements for CIM, and I was wondering what level a concerto from the standard repertoire for a school such as CIM would be? I don't plan on audiitoning for CIM, because I know I would have very little chance of making it, but I was just curious as to the difficulty of the concerto.

Well, anything at the level of Bruch, Mozart, Mendelssohn, or St-Saens 3 would be very normal. Of course, it's the quality of playing that matters more than the piece, but anyone good enough to get into CIM would be capable of playing rep at that level.
