I've gone with slip on dress shoes. Wingtips give me huge blisters. I wore a pair of Cole Haan in black yesterday for my interview at Wayne State, and it was fine. (Hi to anyone I met there!) I went with a pair of black pants, white dress shirt, gold/black patterned tie, and sport coat. Overall it worked very well. I also have a navy suit I'm planning on wearing for Oklahoma and Pitt, but the same shoes will go with me. With all the walking we'll be doing on campus, I went for comfort over super dressy. Where are you interviewing? Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback! I am interviewing at CU Denver (hometown), Stanford, UW Madison, Brandeis, and Northwestern! How about yourself?

A suit and tie is pretty typical for the men I saw interviewing last year. The general dress code is business/professional.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

I have been seeing a lot of interview clothing advice being passed around lately, but being a guy, heels don't really look that good with the clothes I have ;) That being said, for the men of this forum, what are you thinking of wearing or, for those that have interviewed prior, what did you see other guys wearing? I am planning on wearing a suit, but I don't know if this is too formal or not. Any advice?

I am not sure if this has been asked on this thread before, but are there any suggested readings I should be on the lookout for? I am currently reading "Ethical Dilemmas in Genetics and Genetic Counseling" and would love to read more from other sources prior to interviewing.

Has anyone heard back from Stanford? This is my first time applying and I thought they might be the first to get back to me with an interview or rejection because of how early their deadline was, but it doesn't look like that is the case.

GRE/GPA question. I just took the GRE and received unofficial scores of 163V and 157Q. The essays felt good too, but I'll find out more in a week or two. My sGPA with degrees in Molecular Biology and Neuroscience is a 3.747 and my cGPA is basically the same. My extracurriculars are good and similar to most of the applicants out there. With just the GPA and GRE in mind, how do I stack up with those who have gotten into Stanford/Johns Hopkins? Thanks for the feedback yall!
