If you want to enter a master's degree, you should be ready to tackle the very top of the pianistic repertoire, the great concertos the great sonatas the pregnant dog etudes etc. Stuff like the rachmaninoff concerti, the Chopin sonatas, the liszt etudes ... You can play some maybe a bit easier stuff for your audition, but be ready to tackle and play very very well those. By the way, France wouldn't be my first choice if I would like to study out of my country ...

I guess if you played the complete Grieg and the liszt 2 very well, and that the rest of your repertoire is of comparable/even harder stuff then you got chances.
