Now that we've got the basics down, you can begin working on the hard part. Juilliard's admission rate is ridiculous- I think it's about 6% or even less. You need to be absolutely committed to your art- you need to eat, sleep, and breathe it. A number of kids in my orchestra have moved on to Juilliard, and they are very, very dedicated.
Practice as much as you can, and begin looking at the audition materials now. Make sure you're taking private lessons, and tell your teacher that this is your dream.

I auditioned for Juillard, and one of the staff came and personally told my mom that I was one of the best she had seen all day. That I really have something special, and I still didn't get picked hahaha
So this isn't to say that you wont cause you may have what they are looking for. But I can tell you one thing, they are looking for something and it is something other than just acting ability. From what I hear there is a look. I don't know what that look is, but all I can say is be your self. Before you go in there and audition with something you only did your self, make sure that you get an acting coach or teacher that is really talented to help you with your piece and make sure it's Outstanding! There are people who audition the first time and don't get in and then audition a second time and get in like American Idol. Just do your best and make sure the piece is something you are passionate about. Remember always play against the emotion. :) If you need more advice just ask.
