What to wear to on-campus interview?

 

May I wear jeans with a polo shirt???

 

How about department recruitment day? Is there anything difference?

I feel pretty safe stating that, for men, unless your interview is at McDonalds, you NEVER wear jeans to an interview. Maybe I'm old fashioned (I throw on a sports coat and tie for class presentations), but it is a safe bet that someone with whom you are going to meet is old fashioned as well. At a minimum you should wear khakis and a button down shirt. I would throw a coat and tie on over that.

 

For a recruitment day I would call / e-mail the event planner (probably the grad coordinator) and ask "What is appropriate attire?" Who knows what they have planned to sell their department to you... an impromptu game of touch football in a suit is not fun.

 

Good luck!

Meh, I think (nice) jeans are fine if paired with a decent collared shirt. Probably wouldn't rock a hoodie, though.

Thanks man. Maybe I should email the coordinator, lol. Especially for the recruitment day, it will be a whole day.....
