It is hard to predict what you will be asked for. My son’s Juilliard audition required a post 1945(or 1939?) piece and we had been told that they never ever asked for it (and everyone else that we heard from who audioned on violin that year was not asked for it). He was asked to play it and his performance of it was not stellar (2 memory lapses, amongst other issues)–he was still accepted with a large merit scholarship. So, be prepared, play your best, and don’t worry if anything unexpected occurs.
