Answer 2

Well what genre are you looking for?

Answer 3

When you say you want a musical solo, do you mean a song from a Broadway/Off-Broadway show? If so, anything from "Wicked" (Stephen Schwartz) is great. Particularly "Defying Gravity" or "Popular"- it would depend on your voice type. If you haven't heard the music, I'd recommend it just for pleasure listening. Also, anything from any of the classic Sondheim musicals, but be forewarned that Sondheim is difficult, so I wouldn't go with him if you only have a short time in which to learn the piece. Really do your research and try not to go with anything too pop-culture, like "Rent" or something. Personally, I love "Rent" but music professors (who will be the ones evaluating your audition) are looking to see how much you really know about your desired major.

This brings me to my next point. Are you sure you want to sing something from a musical? Usually, the biggest thing the adjudicators want to see is how much effort you put forth toward learning about singing, and learning to sing better. For this reason, I am going to recommend that you learn a song from the book "24 Italian Songs and Arias." It's the most boring book out there, but I can almost guarantee that no matter what type of music you plan to study, this book will be required material that you will have to buy eventually anyway. And, you will have to learn to sing in several languages in college, including German, French, Italian, and Latin- perhaps more, depending on your studio. These languages are all integral parts of the history of solo vocal music. Two of the simplest songs from the above-mentioned Italian book are "Tu Lo Sai" and "Se Tu M'Ami"- it will appear to those judging  you that you have really put your best effort forth.
