<p>I have a college interview tomorrow. I have heard either to "dress for success", with tie and nice shoes, OR "be casual"</p>
<p>Which one should I follow? Are Jeans and T-shirts OK (summer... really hot)?</p>
<p>I would say that it depends on the place. If it's at a hotel, law firm, etc. [somewhere professional] I would lean towards a suit. If it's there house I would wear khakis, polo, etc. If it's at a diner, coffee place, [casual location] I would wear t-shirt and jeans/shorts. For the most part I stuck to this in all my interviews and for the most part I think it went well.</p>
<p>it's on campus. so..?</p>
<p>go with the khakis..shirt or polo.. something nice but not over doing it.. youre always better off being over-dressed than under-dressed</p>
<p>come on..no t shirt or jeans do you want to go there or not?</p>
<p>jeans and t-shirts are NOT okay</p>
<p>dont go suit and tie during the summer, you'll die. a nice shirt, dress preferably but a polo is fine if it's a nice white or something like that. go for nice khaki or black pants instead of shorts and nicer shoes instead of flip-flops.</p>
<p>If it's a campus location I would definitely agree on khakis and a polo, but, hmmm, for my three interviews in casual locations I wore cargo pants and a t-shirt, but yes it's definitely better to overdress than underdress.</p>
<p>Honestly, unless you wear something absolutely bizarre, the interviewer will be far more interested in what you have to offer than what you're wearing. </p>
<p>Don't buy something special to wear. Business casual -- polo or something similar and khakis would be a nice choice. Tennis shoes are fine particularly if your interview is on campus because you may not be able to park conveniently.</p>
<p>Make sure that you spend time before the interview looking at the college's web site so that you don't ask basic questions that would make it look like you're lazy or are not that interested.</p>
<p>Bring your transcript and/or a resume or activities list. That helps the interviewer know what questions to ask you so that you can strut your stuff.</p>
