Hi Molly,
I have a friend from Vancouver who has been accepted at Curtis for her masters next year. I think she is a year older than me (so 23 or 24) and she is a mezzo. For sure she has an amazing voice, but the technique is not flawless - there is stuff that needs improving. Most importantly (to me, anyway) she's a fantastic performer - she gets up there and believes what she is singing.
So no - it's not impossible to get in there. :). I had another friend who auditioned there a few years ago, who didn't get in, and I was a little surprised at that. I think it partly depends on who/what they're looking for in any one given year.
Good luck!
Fiona
