Title: Is it okay to play only the 1st and 3rd movements of Beethoven's Sonata op 110?

I need to play two contrasting movements of a classical sonata for a university audition...

How about 2 and 1 or 3 of Op. 109?

1 & 2 of Op.101 are good too.

To actually answer the question, I think they are generally looking for a fast and a slow movement. Whilst the two movements you are suggesting are very different in form, I'm not sure there's enough lyricism in the 3rd movement to do it (arioso notwithstanding). Perhaps the second and third, or first and second would be more in line with what they are after?
