What to wear to an interview?
Hey Macinsiders,

So I have an interview with a prospective school next week and I was just wondering what is appropriate to wear to an interview?

For guys --> would a suit with a blazer be to formal?

Any help from someone who has had an interview at Mac or any other university would be great!


Thanks

Personally I'd go all out. Better to be safe than sorry. Dress shirt, dress pants, coat and tie with the shirt tucked in, belt, nice shoes, etc.

For sure, proper formal, like you would to a proper job interview or a funeral. Dress pants, shoes, blazer, proper shirt, tie
that's the first thing they see and first impressions go a looong way.
good luck!!

I would say the minimum is a dress shirt+pants with tie and black shoes. Coats, blazers etc are optional to you

It's always better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed. Maybe not a coat/blazer, but definitely a dress shirt + tie.
