How to dress for the informal interview

<p>Hey guys, should I be dressing casual(jeans, shirt, sneakers) like in school or should I be well dressed for this interview?? Thanks!</p>

<p>I always wear a polo/khaki for every interview unless I’m told to wear a button up shirt with a tie and jacket or something.</p>

<p>Can’t go wrong with the polo/khaki combo.</p>

<p>I agree, i went over dressed in a full suit and tie</p>

<p>Although the information session is casual, it doesn’t mean you should be. Suit/tie/dress is overkill, but you still want the person you’re meeting with to know you’re serious about Cornell. So look “neat”–no T-shirt, sweatshirt, jeans, etc. Dress slacks/khakis, collared shirt works best.</p>

<p>I remember I wore a dress shirt and slacks for mine but honestly you could just wear a polo and khakis.</p>

<p>polo/khaki works for everything to be honest.</p>

<p>But substitute the polo for any dress shirt is fine too. I don’t like dress pants over khaki for any informal/semi-formal situation. First wearing black dress pants without a suit looks awkward… not to mention it’s semi-formal for a reason…</p>

<p>Totally agree. My son wore that and did great in his interviews and he was still comfy for walking around campus. You can always take a pair of jeans to change into.</p>

<p>A button down and sweater also works nicely at this time of year, with khakis of course.</p>
