Well... I don't think you should worry that much. You got accepted, so you probably showed the jury that you can play.
Though, you probably should have played som classical sonatas, some Bach, some chopinetudes... But there is really nothing you should worry about :)

Learn what you want to play this summer.  When school starts your teacher will likely work with you in repertoire building.

If you are accepted into a conservatory or a royal College, the basic repertoire that a Conservatorist or someone who is attending a royal college is classical. Almost all music schools want a large repertoire of classical.

What people in a conservatory want to see is 'progress'. So choose pieces where you can show improvement.
