How to dress for an on campus interview?

I was amazed at the number of Princeton T-shirts that I saw on members of the tour group – including parents – during a visit to Penn.

<p>My darling S took off his jacket at the Brandeis tour and revealed a Brown t-shirt underneath it. We hadn’t seen it since we’d been in a hotel that morning and he’d had his jacket on the whole time since he emerged from his hotel room. Argh!! At the time I thought it mattered, but I think now - they see everything, I don’t think they can really get all worked up anew every time they see a “competing” college t-shirt.</p>

<p>Unless it is a college that considers “level of applicant’s interest”?</p>

<p>I think it’s more a faux pas for an interview, but for a group tour and info session – not a smart choice but not a kiss of death either. Don’t you think anyone dealing with public sees it all and then some?</p>
