College Auditions

In February, I have a college audition. That college is JMU-which is my top pick. The JMU requirements are, to "chose two contrasting pieces, one demonstrating slow, lyrical playing and the other demonstrating technical agility. Appropriate etudes would be selections from the Rose 32 or 40 etudes; appropriate solo repertoire: C. M. Weber: Concertino for clarinet Op. 26, Concerto no. 1 in f-minor, Mozart: Clarinet Concerto K. 622, Finzi Bagtelles or similarly standard concerti, sonatas, or solo works for clarinet."

I have been preparing two of the Rose Etudes, numbers 11 and 3. Is it appropriate to play two etudes at a college audition? I will be honest, I do not completely understand the requirements. Does it imply that I should play one etude and one solo repertoire?

I'm grateful for help. I live in a very small area and it's been extremely difficult finding a clarinet teacher, so I came here for advice. My band director knows how eager and dedicated I am, so he is starting to help me. However, he is not a clarinet player, so any advice that you give me would be a great help. I want to show them that I am a very dedicated musician. Thanks in advance!!
