Only one of the schools I am interviewing at has explicitly told me that the dress code is business formal, after they had let me know a few weeks before that it was going to be business casual, so I had to make a few changes. Anyway, all my interviews are at really cold places (compared to AZ), so I'll be wearing black tights because they're significantly warmer. This is with a black pencil skirt/blazer/heels combo but with a colored blouse. I also bought nude pantyhose just in case, I just rather not risk being uncomfortably cold.

I think this would work great! I'm wearing similar outfits during casual events at my interviews, which consist mainly of dark jeans, basic (striped) sweaters and black ankle boots (no blazer). I found the ankle boots to be quite versatile, so I will also be wearing them to the formal part of the interview with a pencil skirt, blouse and cardigan.

Don't worry about it! I assumed it was January. I'm pretty sure my application is in limbo due to some transcript issues. I just wanted to make sure when the interview was so if for some miracle someone contacted me, I would be a bit prepared. But since it's the 30th, I wouldn't be able to make it anyway since I already confirmed an interview with another school.

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone! I was going to ask for a Skype interview but decided that I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see the school in person. I talked to the professor that I currently work for and asked if it was the norm for students to pay for everything out of pocket and he said it wasn't for my alma mater. At least for many of the psychology programs here, they pay for half of all of the interviewees expenses.

Would anyone who got an invitation to Texas Tech be willing to share when the interview is? Please and thank you!

Yesterday I received my third invitation to go interview for a phd program! Although excited, this invitation was also met with a sense of dread. None of my other two schools have offered to assist financially in any way (mainly concerned about airfare), which stressed me out but I made it work. Now, this latest school is across the country with really expensive airfare (i.e. ~$500 that I don't have). I don't want to turn down the interview because it's a school that is higher up on my list. Would it be wise to explain my situation or even ask if there is any help with funding the expenses? Or should I just assume that since they didn't address it it means it's not an option? Thanks!

Hey KayJay22! I got an invitation from Lehigh. It was pretty generic and not from a POI. Good luck!
