<p>For a fall interview, would it be ok to wear nice jeans with a white oxford shirt, tie (maybe slightly bit loosened), and a black cashmere sweater? I know jeans are generally thought of sloppy, but I think that with a nice sweater, oxford, and tie, it could come off as rather classy.</p>
<p>FWIW, the interviews would potentially be at Amherst, Columbia, and Yale.</p>
<p>Your choice of outfit is fine, including the "nice jeans," but do note that Columbia and Amherst do not offer on-campus interviews. Columbia has only alumni interviews (in or near your own community) for candidates who have already applied; Amherst offers a "conversation" with the admissions dean but just for the children of alumni. Even if you won't have an official interview, perhaps you are planning to meet with a faculty member, coach, etc., so, certainly, if that's the case, you'll want to look presentable. Your suggested wardrobe will work well in those situations, too.</p>
<p>I'm closing this thread for because for some reason it is a big magnet for spam bots. Sorry.</p>
