Something i haven't seen anyone say yet and which i would like to add: Get a teacher. You are not too old to seek feedback from a professional who is doing the job now. You may have little problems, minor bad habits or other issues of which you are not aware. One minor problem, be it rhythm, tone, interpretation, or anything else, could make the difference between getting the job and not getting it. Having another trained ear to hear and help correct the problems will help get you closer to your goal.
When i went back to lessons with a member of the Cincinnati orchestra, he asked me what i hoped to accomplish. I told him, "I want your job." I still don't have it (darn!) but that helped define how we approached the learning process.
It's not a pipe dream, but Mark is right, you have your work cut out for you.
