If anyone has an idea of what I should pick, whether that is song suggestions, or just the type of song, anything would help.

I forgot to mention that is can't be one that I have already written. It has to be someone elses piece. I will already be interviewing with them as well with my portfolio which includes recordings if possible.

Whether it's jazz, blues, classical or pop, be sure to pick the
genre with which you are most proficient and brings you
the greatest joy in performing...they will be looking for both
of these. Pick pieces that have the greatest variation in pace
and subtlety, degrees of difficulty and timing. Vivaldi has
these qualities in his Four Seasons, Dr. John and Leon
Russell in the blues piano, etc.

If you want to impress them, play a piece on piano that you have composed yourself. This way you can write a piece that showcases your strengths. Have a music teacher(s) listen to it for feedback. Also, make sure it's OK with the person who heads the music composition department for the school in which you are auditioning. I think most music composition professors would be thrilled to hear a unique composition, especially if you present them with a copy of the piano score. Good luck!

on your audition, you ought to have 2 products (no longer 'songs' in piano repertoire vocabulary) chosen that are chosen from 2 distinctive eras. you have already reported a Bach Invention, and that i think of that's a competent theory, yet i might advise a pointer or 2. you ought to study Bach in song college once you're extreme approximately song, and each song student would be attentive to this. he's the middle of our western solidarity so going to that invention is a competent theory. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, i might strongly advise looking a non everlasting instructor (or finished time?) for coping with Bach's voicing which you probable do no longer understand besides as you ought to for the audition. additionally, i might get into Hanon pronto! And in case you don't be attentive to that call, head to the closest song keep, and only ask for Hanon, Virtuoso Pianist. this might start to construct up your dexterity for greater troublesome artwork. next, you may take on the minor Chopin artwork for showing the Romantic form, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that that's a thoroughly distinctive form on the piano, and due to this i want to advise a minimum of a few conferences with a instructor. you would be judged on the way you work together with the song, no longer only enjoying the notes. you have time for all this, yet you ought to take it heavily. Set your prepare time methodically and start up with the Hanon daily. you will see quite some distinction on your hands in case you stick to my technique, and you will even explode with greater want for the piano.

You should contact the school(s) where you are auditioning and ask what kind of repertoire they expect.
At my university, they would expect traditional, "classical" repertoire. (Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Debussy, etc.)
Do you have a piano teacher? If not, GET ONE NOW.
