psychgurl Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a recruitment day on Friday, too! You should PM me where you're going...maybe we'll be at the same one Anyway, I asked a current graduate student what the dress code is...she said business casual, like something you'd wear to a conference. I have a suit jacket, but I'm worried about being overdressed and feeling uncomfortable in that. I decided on nice blacks slacks, black leather flats, a professional looking blouse, and a nice black cardigan over the blouse. I feel like that kind of outfit sends the message that you are serious and professional without appearing snobby or stuffy (what I fear about the suit jacket). Of course, it totally depends on the program. Is there a grad student contact you could ask? Or a graduate admissions coordinator? I've heard some programs saying jeans are okay, while others say business casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazygirl2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You could wear a nice sweater, dress pants, and flats or low heels. A dress with tights is another alternative, as long as it's reasonably modest and professional. Contacting a grad student to ask about the dress code is always a good idea.

CarlieE Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 For my interview earlier this year I wore: grey slacks, a white collared blouse, a grey vest and a burgundy velvet blazer. A little make up, and a minimal jewelry.. and chunky oxfords. Other girls wore knee length dresses with cardigans; slacks and shirts... Then for the evening, we were in more casual clothing: sweaters and jeans... And the same for lunch the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Emick Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I concur with business casual. If the jacket feels like too much, then don't wear it. Make sure you are comfortable. I had two days of interviews and wore a skirt and blouse for day one and slacks and blouse for day two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
