He gave a real answer, to a less real question :P
Nobody can tell you for sure how hard it will be for you. Probably the best way to find out is to play through it a few times. Decide for yourself.
People on the internet don't know your skill level nearly as well as you do. Not without recordings, anyways.

Can you ask a real question?

Have you: (a) listened to the piece; (b) looked at the score; (c) read through the score while listening to the piece; or (d) played through it?

This is advanced repertoire and only one or more of those steps will give you your answer - which will depend on your own particular strengths and weaknesses and what techniques you already have in your toolkit. Without a detailed knowledge of that (such as you possess, or which your teacher may possess) any "real" response is either going to be wrong, banal or both.

Nobody can tell you how difficult this piece is. It's all based on your own strengths and weaknesses.
You need to spend time with it yourself to figure it out.

Before you ask for help - in any life situation! - you should be prepared to answer "What have you tried so far?" Otherwise you look like someone who wants things handed to them, and that's -really- not going to work for a learned skill like piano.

Do what j_menz said.
Although I have some questions.
What are you auditioning for?
When are you auditioning?
What are their listed audition requirements?
Why do you think they want to listen to a entire 15 minute concert piece?
What does your teacher think?
What has been your most difficult piece so far?
How long did it take you to learn it?
Are there any recordings of it?

If you're not going to trust her, the person who's knowledge of your playing style is second to only yourself (ideally), then do the logical thing- try it yourself.
