<p>I just scheduled my interview for Chicago. What exactly is considered appropriate attire for these interviews. I know i should not wear a suit, and that i should not dress like a slop. Should i wear a nice shirt, and jeans or slacks. I really do not know what to do.</p>
<p>Nice clean dark blue jeans. A full sleeve collared black shirt (sleeve rolled up to your elbows). No fuss - very classic and casual. For shoes I would recommend nice black sneakers i.e. converse OR if you are feeling really snazzy, then a pair of well polished black shoes would so well. (nothing open-toed).</p>
<p>Good luck for your interview!</p>
<p>It really depends on where your interview is. I had my interview at Starbucks so I had more casual dress (dark jeans and a cardigan). If it were to be at someone’s office for instance, I would dress more formally. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>My interview will take place at a library lounge area</p>
<p>It doesn’t really matter. Unless this is some kind of exclusive library, a nice shirt (for a guy pollo or button-down) with nice jeans, cargo or slacks.</p>
<p>My strong-willed son wore a t-shirt and jeans, his usual attire, to his Chicago interview as well as to most others. Even after my strong suggestions to dress up a bit, he insisted on doing what he wanted. The venues were usually coffee houses, but at least one interview took place at an office (a doctor).</p>
<p>I’m not recommending this to others, just sharing his experience. And, yes, he is currently attending UChicago.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>it’s hard to give you a straight answer because the interview isn’t a central part to undergraduate admissions, so as long as it doesnt go terribly bad or extremely well. With that people have worn a number of different things and gotten accepted / denied. I’ve had 3 so far. The Uchicago and WUSTL ones were on campus, and I wore a button up shirt and khakis. I had a Georgetown interview at a law office in the business district of my city, and wore a suit, but it was somewhat casual as it was pinstripe navy and I wore a purple dress shirt. Just feel it out.</p>
<p>It will depend on the location of the interview. My Georgetown interview was at a Starbucks, and I wore a casual knee-length skirt, a cardigan, and black flats. My UChicago interview was in my interviewer’s office (she was a college professor), and I wore black cords, a nice blouse, a light cardigan, and flats. </p>
<p>Still, in both of these instances, I could have easily gotten away with dark jeans. (This won’t be true for interviews in more formal offices.) The important thing is to look clean, modest, and comfortable. Your interviewer shouldn’t remember what you were wearing.</p>
