Drama School Monologue Advice?

I'm considering applying to drama school for 2014 entry. I'm deciding on some monologues, but struggling with Shakespeare. I love comedy, and feel that a comedy character would suit me best. I looked at Launce speech from 'gentleman of Verona'. The characters considered clownish, and it's also in prose. Alot of drama schools says classical/Shakespeare and no mention of verse/prose, but I have been informed that drama schools like serious/natural pieces and not a fan of comedy Shakespeare. Also if I did a comedy monologue in prose, would I stand a less chance, because I think the whole point of Shakespeare was to see how you handle the verse. What do you guys think? Am I right or overthinking?
