aemosier Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ok, so I know that this gets posted on here a lot, but everything I am finding is focused more towards females. I will be attending a campus visit at the end of the month and planning out my trip and what to wear once there. I have already been accepted and offered a financial aid package with T.A. position, but I want to leave a good impression on the faculty and everyone there. I'll be going for a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences: Microbiology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but coming from a small southern liberal arts college, I'm a little lost in some of the general niceties of these things. Thanks in advance to everyone for your responses and assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 You can never go wrong for business casual. What's the worst that happens? You're slightly overdressed? Wear slacks/khakis and a button down. No tie, no jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackonthedoctor Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why not ask the department secretary of what is expected? When I got an invite to my top choice's interview/recruitment weekend, I asked the department secretary of the expected attire for the weekend. However, I will echo Edge's suggestion with going for business casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeee1923 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Business casual (no tie needed) is good enough, especially in the cases where you've already been accepted to the program. At this point they are trying to get you to accept their offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
