Stanford Biosciences interview attire

In the inteview packet, it says:

 

Please note that the Stanford environment is a casual one. You do not need formal clothes for interviews or for the dinners (which are sometimes at local restaurants or at the homes of program faculty).

 

I don't know how to interpret this.  I can't decide if it means a suit isn't necessary, but you should still wear the standard business casual, or whether it means that jeans are okay.  I don't mind wearing business casual, but I don't want to be the only one!

They certainly mean to say that suits are not needed (and would be overkill).

Business casual is a spectrum - I'd aim for the casual end. Jeans can work if they are nice, meaning dark denim with no holes. But non-jeans would also work, and may be a safer choice. Chinos/khakis = good. Jeans = ok. Slacks = bad.

A t-shirt would be too casual. Aim higher than that and you're set.
