Is it so hard to enter Berklee College of Music?

Requirements to enter Berklee College of Music?

• I want to get into Berklee College of Music. I am in Grade 10 and starter learning the drums late last year. I want to become an audio engineer and maybe a music producer too. I would also like to increase my knowledge in the drums and the piano. Can someone tell me what requirements I need to enter Berklee? thanks in advance
