MPA/MPP/IR - Admitted Student Days

[K.Ash]

I know there is an entire section of the site dedicated to making you decision, etc - but I feel like a lot of the things discussed there are specific to your field. For instance, an MA in Eng student might be okay with a flowing dress for the below question whereas MBA students are probably going to be in suits.

I'm going to be at the American & GW admitted students events later this week and was curious what others thought was 'appropriate attire.' I was planning on jeans & professional tops but would prefer not to look like a fool if everyone else is going to be much more professionally dressed. Its also going to be in the upper 70s in D.C. this week so I'd like to be comfortable, haha. Anyone have experience/thoughts on this?

The Michigan MBA admitted students weekend is casual all the way, no one would be rockin a suit. I'd ask admissions how it usually is if they didn't mention the dress code in your invite.

Based on what I've seen people wear at GWU open house etc, jeans might be ok; I'd aim for business casual/officewear, in between jeans and suits. Khaki capris or a casual skirt would also work, since it sounds like you may be female
