Cornell interview this Saturday. What to wear?

<p>Can I wear a sweater with long black pants? Or is it better to wear a polo shirt with short sleeves instead of a sweater?</p>

<p>Sweater with black pants is fine probably.</p>

<p>I always go khaki + polo or button up with sleeves rolled up.</p>

<p>Is it fine to wear sneakers?</p>

<p>depends how dressy they are.</p>

<p>most people would prefer loafers.</p>

<p>Loafers with matching soxs. Look/smell clean.</p>

<p>Take your venue into account as well.</p>

<p>so…
“I still don’t know what shirt I should wear yet” + black pants + black Loafers + black socks ?</p>

<p>Should I wear sweaters or polo shirts with short sleeves? and What color?</p>

<p>It’s an informal meeting, it’s still better to be ‘‘that’’ serious, right?</p>

<p>You are almost in college, make an executive decision. If it’s cold where you are then wear a sweater, if it’s warm then go with a polo short sleeves. What color? Really? 10 to 1 your interviewer wouldn’t remember, so go wild.</p>

<p>lol, don’t suit up with a tie, blazer and sharp shoes and don’t go wild with reds/greens and yellows because you might just be that ‘1’ that oldfort is talking about.</p>

<p>If you have this: Sweater (There are several types) Straight Black/Dark Gray Clean pants, Loafers/Just regular shoes not super shiny dress shoes…you might want to consider stating the types you have because there are several.</p>

<p>All in all, just a clean preppy look basically.</p>

<p>I am a Cornell alumni interviewer and I wear jeans. Wear a nice version of your usual school clothes. Some kids wear ties and dress up which just makes them look awkward and uncomfortable.</p>

<p>Do I have to bring in my resume too?</p>

<p>My daughter brought a resume to all her interviews. I think it’s a nice summary and helps the interviewer write the report (sometimes when they meet so many applicants they may their facts mixed up if they are not good note takers.</p>

<p>My resume should include my ECs and my basic personal information only right?</p>

<p>If you have work or volunteer experience, you could add that as well.</p>

<p>I went in a maroon military button up, sleeves rolled up + jeans + white chucks.</p>

<p>Wore a dress shirt and khaki with sneakers. Interview went pretty well. She had to leave for another one after a hour though.</p>
