Well, to echo an above post, "An overall standard rep list that I saw when auditioning was to prepare a Melodious Etude (Rochut), a Kopprasch Etude (or Blazevich), and two contrasting solos or solo movements from two different composers." As far as solos go, it depends how long you have. If it is March, like most schools, and you've got some time to listen to reference recordings and practice, try the 1st or 2nd movement of the Hindemith. I might get some criticism for this, but if you were playing the Blue Bells version by Arban, you have some technical skill. There are COUNTLESS other pieces that you can play, but play what you sound best on. The prof wants to hear your sound not what you think he/she would want to hear. A good melodious piece is the Rachmaninoff Vocalise.

Hope this helps!
