I think overplayed selections can work if placed in an uncommon program, or a themed program. Just don't populate your program with overplayed selections.
For example, the following IMO is too much:
Bach: WTC 1, C major
Beethoven: Pathétique
Chopin: Fantasie Improptu
Debussy: La cathédrale engloutie
Rachmaninoff: Op. 3/2 (as the 20th century work)
Chopin: Op 10/12 (for the Etude)
But something like this might be a better starting point to explore the rep
Soler - Sonata in F#, R 90
Bach - Toccata in E Minor, BWV 914 (if Bach is a specific requirement)
Beethoven - Tempest
Chopin - Rondo Op 1
Debussy - Minstrels
Albéniz - Iberia: El Albaicin (alternate for Impressionist category)
Medtner - Fairy Tale Op.51 No.1 (Early 20th Century)
Scriabin - Etude Op. 42 No. 6
A living composer from your country of residence, or school location.

Just thinking here but this would be interesting for a theme, though a bit impractical for auditions:
Beethoven: Moonlight
Chopin: Sonata 2
Medtner: Nightwind Sonata Op.25 No. 2
Scriabin: Vers La Flamme
