I need more insight on the Royal College Of Music!

Hi everyone! I have an audition for the Royal College of Music in London tomorrow, but I'm kind of going in without knowing what their BMus course is actually like? My principle study is vocals, but what genre do they do? Is it all just opera? Do you think I'd be making a fool of myself if I went into the audition singing a jazz song, or a contemporary piece even? I really need advice so please help in any way you can!
I think you should probably have thought about this a little earlier and done some research into were applying for . Why would you apply for a course that you don't know anything about ?

But if you look here http://www.rcm.ac.uk/apply/auditions/auditionpieces/vocalstudies/ is clearly states

Applicants should prepare a total of three items in contrasting styles and moods, one of which must be an operatic or oratorio aria (with recitative if possible). The audition panel reserves the right to select only two of the three prepared works

so as long as one of your pieces is operatic you should be fine if the other two were not

As for what the course is like look here

they clearly do other things other than opera as their are options in 3rd and 4th year involving other genres

Why you didn't just google this yourself I don't know........
