Great job -- very clean. Try accenting the fourth note just a bit so your rhythm is more defined for the listener. Think about keeping the intensity during the half notes; for my taste, you let go of them too quickly. Also, manipulate the bow better so you have a good ponticello at the end. Wish I could play the high part (g minor) as well as you can!
First 8 bars are most important bars of an audition. Your triplets in the 2nd bar sound labored, might make a committee knock you down quickly. Hans is badass keep working.
This one is all about keeping the tempo solid. I studied with Hans Jensen at Northwestern and played this for several auditions. Don't be afraid to sound lyrical and beautiful on the long notes. You don't want it all to sound mechanical. This is a monster excerpt and you are very close to professional level. Keep it up.

You have no sense of rhythm at all. Your rhythm goes all over the place. GET A METRONOME !!!

I hear no rhythmic stability whatsoever. Were all of these for the Aspen Fellowship audition? Did you get it?
