Grad School Visits: What to Wear?

[nab190]

Excellent -- because UK is neither my alma mater nor a school I applied to/am interested in. Sure glad I didn't send an inappropriate message. I think some of the advice here is anal-retentive... surely professors choosing grad students realize that clothes are just clothes... I'm not sure I'd want to spend my time with a group of people so willing to judge me by my garments. Just sayin'.

I agree. One of my schools advised us to wear "business dress" on their admitted/potential students day. Granted, I'm not going to roll out of bed and show up in my sweats, but business wear? That's definitely over doing it for me. Dress codes in general irk me to a degree. Especially since this isn't a work place environment. Clothing is a status symbol, not a marker of how dedication or work ethic.
